Rather, the
autoconf way (as documented in the generic INSTALL file in so many

Additionally, it's documented like this also in libsigsegv's README.woe32 file.
Which is outdated, since it still mentions cygwin's gcc -mno-cygwin
(which was a horrible hack instead of a true cross-compiler), that
option no longer exists now that you have your choice of _three_ true
mingw cross-compilers under cygwin. Part of this is because there are
now two active mingw forks, where only one targets 64-bit native
windows, and where the target triples have some awful baggage in the
naming conventions:
i686-pc-mingw32 - 32-bit, from mingw.org
i686-w64-mingw32 - 32-bit, from mingw64.sf.net
x86_64-w64-mingw32 - 64-bit, from mingw64.sf.net
