GCC release criteria

GCC release criteria

[Denis Excoffier]

Hello,

In the GCC 10 Release Criteria, one can read (https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/criteria.html) that cygwin is among the secondary platform list:

This is ok of course, but nowadays, perhaps would it be a better choice
that they switch to x86_64-pc-cygwin? What do you think?

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.

Also mingw64-x86_64, and doubt there is an i686-apple-darwin, more likely
x86_64-/amd64-apple-darwin.

Sounds right.  I don't know how the secondary target choices are made,
though.
