15 Hmmm, I think you should use i686-pc-cygwin. That'll help make libtool
16 and the like do what they do best on Cygwin.
17
18 bootstrap-prefix.sh doesn't have support for this target (yet), since
19 there is no profile for it either. Though, I think it's going to harm
20 you more to set a wrong CHOST than hacking your way through it.
21
22 You'll have to create a profile for cygwin yourself (very limited, just
23 containing the CHOST should do, keyword = x86-interix or something is an
24 acceptable hack for now)
