RFC: usage of cygwin32-/cygwin64- cross-toolchains

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

Now that we're long finished bootstrapping cygwin64, I was wondering to 
what degree (if any) are the cygwin32-* and cygwin64-* packages in 
either the Cygwin distro or the Fedora Cygwin repository are of actual 
use.  If you are using any of these, please specify on which platform 
you are using them (i686/x86_64, Cygwin, F19, or if you want to move to 
F20) and to what extent (IOW "to build Cygwin package A/B/C which 
require libraries X/Y/Z").  This will help me best manage my time wrt 
keeping these updated.

TIA,


Yaakov

I use them in (essentially) Fedora 18 but I have vague plans to update
to the latest Fedora sometime soon.

And which libraries are you using?

I'm using the F19 version on F19 and F20.  Updating to F20 would be
nice, but the F19 versions work fine on F20.  You just have to tweak
the cygwin.repo file to get them.

Here's the list of packages I've installed right now:

  cygport
  cygwin-binutils-generic
  cygwin-filesystem-base
  cygwin32
  cygwin32-binutils
  cygwin32-cpp
  cygwin32-crypt
  cygwin32-crypt-static
  cygwin32-filesystem
  cygwin32-gcc
  cygwin32-gcc-c++
  cygwin32-gettext
  cygwin32-gettext-static
  cygwin32-libbfd
  cygwin32-libiconv
  cygwin32-libiconv-static
  cygwin32-libltdl
  cygwin32-libtool
  cygwin32-ncurses
  cygwin32-readline
  cygwin32-w32api-headers
  cygwin32-w32api-runtime
  cygwin32-zlib
  cygwin32-zlib-static
  cygwin64
  cygwin64-binutils
  cygwin64-bzip2
  cygwin64-cpp
  cygwin64-crypt
  cygwin64-crypt-static
  cygwin64-expat
  cygwin64-filesystem
  cygwin64-gcc
  cygwin64-gcc-c++
  cygwin64-gettext

  cygwin64-glib2
  cygwin64-gmp
  cygwin64-isl
  cygwin64-libbfd
  cygwin64-libedit
  cygwin64-libffi
  cygwin64-libiconv
  cygwin64-libiconv-static
  cygwin64-libltdl
  cygwin64-libmpc
  cygwin64-libtool
  cygwin64-libxml2
  cygwin64-mpfr
  cygwin64-ncurses
  cygwin64-openssl

Sorry.  I think the answer is pretty much "all of them" but the list is
below.  Since I do all of my builds on linux, I end up using most of
your packages.  However, I have methods for pulling in what I need from
the release if there is a gap.

So, I guess, the only things I really *need* are the compiler and
binutils packages.  Everything else is just "nice to have" for me.
