The full name 'x86_64-pc-mingw32' was chosen by upstream. I don't really understand the full reasons why, but we cannot change it at the moment. > why /usr/x86_64-pc-mingw32/sys-root/x86_64-pc-mingw32 and not > /usr/x86_64-pc-mingw32/sys-root/? > > anyway the same question apply to mingw32 why > /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/ and why not > /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/? > > why put share one level ip? Again, upstream (mingw-w64) have suggested this layout as the best one ... (even though it doesn't work). Have a look at their makebuildroot.sh script in upstream SVN to see how they suggest building it.
