Don't know. Once upon a time, i started building the crosscompile gcc,
binutils and so on and catched the first name i could find. The cygwin
target is called i686-pc-cygwin32 on my machine. It's just a simple name.
For example, the SuSE folks used i486-suse-linux as name for their
compile target, which is effectivly the same as i686-pc-linux-gnu (as
it's called now on my machine).
Don't think to long about this name, it's just used on my machine and in
the rpms I created for the crosscompile gcc.

BTW: With the new 64bit AMD processor, two different targets might exist
i786-pc-cygwin32 and i786-pc-cygwin64 :)
