Subject: [gentoo-user] CHOST on Cygwin?

Hello,

I try to setup Gentoo Prefix on Cygwin. Cygwin is a POSIX layer on
windows. That means that the environment is POSIX but the binaries are
COFF instead of ELF AFAIK.

Now I wonder which CHOST to set in this case. What does it describe,
the environment or the file format?

Al
