Comment 2 for bug 992161

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your prompt reply. The problem we had is that we have several scripts around that use the old triplet. That is why we had to manually install symbolic links for ranlib, windres, dlltool and ar. You are of course right that these scripts could be updated to use the new triplet. Concerning what to do with the gcc-mingw32 package, I guess it probably depends on how much do you want to invest on backward compatibility.
Kind regards,

    Roberto
