You are correct; all these triplets are making my head spin. Let me rephrase: Given the incompatibilities mentioned, would a cygwin1.dll built with i686-w64-mingw32 (mingw-w64 32bit) toolchain be 100% compatible with current and past releases built with i686-pc-mingw32 (mingw.org) toolchain? If not, then we need both. Yaakov
