Re: [MinGW-dvlpr] config.guess (!)

[Earnie B. <ea...@us...>]

Ben,

It has come to my attention that a filter for MSYS has been added to 
config.guess.  It is my strong desire to not have MSYS as a publicly 
available target.  The MSYS target is a private target for those 
developers that need to build applications that support MSYS.  I 
provide those developers with a modified config.guess and config.sub 
that is sufficient for that need.  Please backout these changes to 
config.guess ASAP.  The MSYS target has never been released to the 
public in a Pristine release but the MSYS target has been delivered to 
developers of MSYS in an alpha snapshot.  The purpose of MSYS is to 
provide minimal tools for the purposes of executing configure && make 
for the mingw32 target and build environment.

Kind Regards,
Earnie
