... and if they do not like the name "i686-mingw-gcc", they could create
symbolic links "gcc32 --> i686-mingw-gcc", "g77_32 --> i686-mingw-g77"
etc., so they can "make" their project with "CC=gcc32 make" etc..


I concord with the need to get away the confusing '-mno-cygwin'.

I would suggest of not adopting any work around that reintroduces that
option underhandly...


   Cheers,
