Hello,
what is the current CHOST?
I'm not sure what you meant by CHOST - it's not an environment variable
that I'm familiar with. Who expects it to be set? Did you mean target
triplet?
It is i686-pc-cygwin1.7 according to this posting from Eric:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-02/msg00669.html
That patch was rejected upstream.
Running config.guess on cygwin 1.7.7 still intentionally produces:
i686-pc-cygwin
If I set the CHOST to i686-pc-cygwin1.7 I have troubles with some
builds for example libiconv, gettext and zlib.
Supplying bogus target triplets to build machinery programs is not
recommended. Many configure programs (mistakenly) compare $host or
$host_os (the autoconf names for the full target triplet and the third
member of the triplet) against the pattern cygwin, rather than the glob
cygwin*; and while those programs should probably be fixed upstream,
they at least have the justification that they match the current
config.guess program output, and that you probably shouldn't have
supplied a triplet that wasn't documented in config.guess in the first
place.
