I'm on Windows with Cygwin installed but I don't want to use the Cygwin GCC. I will use MinGW-64 cross compiler of Cygwin instead (compiler name is x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc and other binutils tools will begin with the prefix x86_64-w64-mingw32-, e.g: x86_64-w64-mingw32-as for gnu assembler). Why I wanted to do so? Because the MinGW-64 cross compiler doesn't depend on cygwin-1.dll so compiled binary is easier to deploy. But it seems VPC will always default to use the compiler name "gcc" which is the Cygwin GCC. How to overwrite that? Thanks.
