Right I get that. I just mean that its pretty common to see homebrewed
cross-compilers with just mingw32 as the prefix.  The reason I guess
is that on Windows (c:\mingw\bin\*) it does not follow the gnu naming
convention because it does not have to follow it and people carry that
over when they are rolling their own cross-compiler. Now that most
distro's are shipping mingw packages this is less common. I guess your
argument is right and anyone rolling their own should get with the
program and follow the standard.
