../config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2004-11-12, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/

If the version you run (../config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <[email protected]> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2004-11-12

uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 1.5.19s(0.138/4/2)
uname -s = CYGWIN_NT-5.2
uname -v = 20050905 13:31:09

/usr/bin/uname -p = unknown

This toolchain will not work natively under Windows XP 64bit edition. I had to modify it to have the --host=i686-pc-cygwin since it doesn't seem to reconignise the x86_64 as the platform identifier. So be warned if you have that problem add that flag above to everything but pspsdk in the ./configure's

I use the toolchain in 64bit Fedora Core 3 (linux). This has been fine for some time. Last I checked, CygWin still didn't support 64bit, and they had no timetable on when it would. So like ooPo said above, you have to use CygWin as 32bit since that's all it supports.
