For us poor schmucks stuck in the 32-bit world, I'm hoping there will
eventually be a 32-to-64 bit native cross compiler (i.e. a compiler
that will run in 32-bit Cygwin that produces 64-bit Cygwin binaries)?
I'm guessing we're a ways out from that point yet, but when we get to
the point where Cygwin is officially offered in both architectures,
will the ask be of the various maintainers to produce binaries for
both (I personally don't mind as long as the tools exist to do it).
Cheers,
Chris
