Using switches such as -m32/-m64 or -mwindows (which was removed) for 
Cygwin causes user issues. It makes tool maintenance nearly unattainable 
when all the possibilities are to be considered.  A decision was made to 
use the uname specifics to determine the guessed system.  If something 
other is required the user has the ability to specify the system.  You 
may want to review [1] to see if it might help you.
