I agree with you that x86_64-w64-mingw32 isn't an ideal name, but we've got to
do with it for now. While it technically could be made possible to use a
different target it will require patching of almost every package and the
toolchain itself will divert from upstream. Is that really a direction we
should be going..?
How about these names for the source rpms:
crossdesktop-filesystem - Contains the binary RPMs mingw32-filesystem,
mingw64-filesytem and (later) darwinx-filesystem
mingw-binutils - Contains the binary RPMs mingw32-binutils and mingw64-binutils
mingw-gcc - Contains the binary RPMs mingw32-gcc and mingw64-gcc
mingw-headers - Contains the binary RPMs mingw32-headers and mingw64-headers
mingw-crt - Contains the binary RPMs mingw32-crt and mingw64-crt
and in the future, once legal issues get cleared :
darwinx-odcctools - Contains the binutils equivalent for Mac OS X
darwinx-gcc - Contains Apple's version of GCC(In reply to comment #6)
darwinx-sdk - Contains the various headers and libraries of a default Mac OS X
environment
All mingw32-* packages could then get renamed to crossdesktop-* packages and
produce binary RPMs called mingw32-*, mingw64-* (and later darwinx-*)
