Subject: [ruby-core:32495] [Ruby 1.8-Backport#3666] Backport of r26311 (Bug #2587)

Issue #3666 has been updated by Luis Lavena.


Mr. Makada,

Don't confuse 'w64' with 64bits. GNU triplets are architecture-vendor-os where i686 (x86) is the architecture that represents w64 (mingw-w64) project.

i386-mingw32 and i586-pc-mingw32 are the identificators of mingw32 packages for OSX and Debian respectively.

i686-w64-mingw32 identifies mingw-w64 platform and packages for 32bits while x86_64-w64-mingw32 identifies 64bits compiler target.

Also, the patch is about an already defined structure, which was never backported to 1.8 branches and is blocking Ruby 1.8 to be cross compiled for 32bits.

Please reevaluate this rejection.

Thank you.
