cygwin binutils doesn't set or understand /machine tags, which are required for 64-bit targets.For the most part the cygwin tools interoperate with MS artifacts but it does break down, especially, with 64bit artifacts. For example, nm can work with 32bit object files created by MS cl.exe but it cannot work with 64bit MS object files (unrecognised file format).
The question is: how far should I expect the interoperability to go? For example, is the fact that nm cannot handle 64bit MS object files a (1) defeat in cygwin/nm or (2) I should be grateful that it works with 32bit files and otherwise lower my expectation?
