Recent config.guess still detects 64bit Cygwin as x86_64-unknown-cygwin.
This should probably be changed (upstream) to be consistent with
i686-pc-cygwin.
This was discussed a short while ago on cygwin-developers. Bottom line:
while we could do so, it would take forever for the change to
"trickle-down" to ordinary packages. It's really no different from
Fedora's use of x86_64-redhat-linux for their toolchain while
config.guess still returns x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. cygport handles
this transparently, so it shouldn't cause any problems.
