Fwd: Re: make bug 3523436

Hi guys,

Anyone else noticed this very minor build bug with make's configure:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202435&aid=3523436&group_id=2435
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202435&aid=3523436&group_id=2435>

I don't agree with the response:

This is a user error in specifying the host for which the package is
to be
residing for. You should specify --host=mingw32 to resolve this issue.
There is no such system as mingw32msvc.

This doesn't fit with what I'm seeing, see below.

Even if you use "--host=mingw32" you see the same problem as with
"--host=i586-mingw32" below.
Only "--host=i586-mingw32msvc" builds and only if you do that one
character fix to make the offending line match the wild cards of other
parts that also refer to mingw32.

The name must match what the mingw executables are called, and for me at
least, that's "i586-mingw32msvc".
