I wasn't aware that is so specific for the gentoo build tools. Yes,
there it is a central environment variable.
Why did gentoo need to invent it? And does it have any documentation?
Instead your posting became the origin of the official $CHOST setting
for Gentoo/Cygwin. :-)
Oh, so you're worried more about a cross-compilation environment hosted
on gentoo, rather than something directly pertaining to cygwin.
Do the gentoo folks not follow upstream development of the GNU config
project?
git://git.sv.gnu.org/config.git
is the latest and greatest config.guess program that should be shared by
all GNU software. And while not all packages ported to cygwin are GNU
software, there is a large number of non-GNU packages that also uses GNU
config.guess and friends to base decisions on.
