Re: Removing cygwin32-*, cygwin64-*

Is anyone using the cygwin32- and/or cygwin64-* cross-compiling
toolchain for anything besides cross-building cygwin itself?  I would
like to remove most of these from the distro if at all possible.

FWIW, I've tried to cross-compile some of my packages between i386 and x86_64,
and it's never worked. The build always fails for one reason or another that I
can't solve.  So I gave up and no, I don't use them any more.
For a package maintainer, it's not only easier, but also useful for testing, to simply install cygwin-32 and -64 in parallel. 
No need for cross-building.
What about the mingw cross-compiling packages? Are they any good for (never tried)?
