The requests were rejected because they broke combinations such as
host=powerpc64-suse-linux-gnu target=(AMD64 PE)
-> uninstallable
host=aarch64-suse-linux-gnu target=(AMD64 PE)
-> output target format erroneously changed // an end-user can no longer generate an amd64 WSL loader from an aarch64 system.
That is not acceptable and was already communicated in the SRs of that time, https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/816852 . So please don't suggest that the mingw project could be the cause of any eventual delays, thank you.
Do you really expect people to build for x86_64 windows on PowperPC or Arm machines? I really think it is ok to build for aarch64 windows on aarch64 and for x86_64 windows on x86_64. We build openSUSE for aarch64 on aarch64 and openSUSE for x86_64 on x86_64 after all. I do not see any added value at all to keep the ability to build x86_64 windows on non x86 archs. Cheers, Guillaume
