Next to this, various packages have been renamed from 'mingw32-...' to 'cross-...'. This is used to indicate that the package in question contain binaries for multiple targets. If a package has been renamed from 'mingw32-...' to 'cross-...' then the original '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.
