configure error message


I'm guessing I don't have something setup quite correctly. I'm trying to build the dictd package
under cygwin.


it uses configure, but configure starts out with an error.

checking host system type...
Invalid configuration `i686-pc-cygwin': system `cygwin' not recognized
---

Is this something I should fix before attempting to debug later problems?

Seems, looking at files like 'config.sub', that it knows about i[345]86, but not 686's....
Strange. I've never written anything using config/autoconf, only compiled things...never
seen this type of error before.


Thanks,
