Let me state that the string from the MSYS uname is controlled by an environment variable MSYSTEM. So if MSYSTEM is changed to say mingw64 then the config.guess and config.sub scripts could be changed to recognize the uname string to produce i686-pc-mingw64, x86_64-mingw64 or even x86_64-w64-mingw32 which ever is preferred. The uname string from MSYS would read MINGW64_NT-5.1 if MSYSTEM=mingw64. My personal preference for a config.guess return string would be x86_64-w64-mingw. -- Earnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
