I believe blueness' point here was that with Windows 10's support of ELF, one might be able to build a say, winapi toolkit gtk+:3 directly in Linux without needing a mingw cross-toolchain. That is, linking this back to the original point, it's best to not mix up the meaning of this use flag with the executable file format. |
