Thatâs a bigger change than the one already done, so more likely to break more scripts.
But also, your change loses information. âWOW64â didnât mean â32-bit Cygwin,â it meant â32-bit Cygwin *on* 64-bit Windows.â 32-bit Cygwin on 32-bit Windows just says âCYGWIN_NT-10.0â, just like 64-on-64.
If you want to know bitness, you need to test via uname -m.
