Do the mingw checks in this patch also need to consider cygwin? E.g.:
This GDB was configured as "x86_64-pc-cygwin".
I believe they are completely separate targets. I don't know much about
cygwin, but I assume that Python built for cygwin library is linked with
the cygwin C library and understands cygwin's fake symbolic links, while
Python built for the mingw C library certainly does not. Similarly,
using ";" instead of ":" in PATH-like things is a Windows thing, while
I'm pretty sure cygwin emulates the POSIX syntax.
