'mingw32-...'
package will be obsoleted by the 'cross-...' one.
While it makes sense to have a single cross-* SRPM, IMHO the binary RPMs
should really be subpackaged into mingw32-*, mingw64-* and eventually
darwinx-*. If I want to build W32 binaries, I don't need W64 stuff and most
definitely not OS X stuff, and the other way round.
Having all cross targets stuffed into the same binary RPMs strikes me as
extremely unhelpful.
