Hi guys, Good news. mingw32ce was accepted by the MinGW folks [1], and is now blessed at config.patches [2] too.
With the acceptance came a name change though. The new full canonical mingw32ce name is now: arm-unknown-mingw32ce. Yep, that "unknown" part sounded weird to me too, but it refers to the manufacturer of the arm machine, and is a common practice to use it for embedded systems. *-wince-* was really an abuse of what is called the vendor, manufacturer, or company field of the triplet [3], so it had to go. We also have the choice to use just arm-mingw32ce or just mingw32ce, but the internal canonical name will always be arm-unknown-mingw32ce. We probably have to adapt a few things here and there to conform to the new name. The great news is that the path is now clear to submit mingw32ce to gcc upstream. A note: the new recommended way to match the canonical name in config* scripts is now: arm-*-mingw32ce.
