Still hoping that someone will find this important 
enough to answer.

An updated detail is that I can override the value 
of "MACHTYPE" and "HOSTTYPE" in Cygwin per se, but not 
in MSYS -- Earnie? CC:ing you this time.

The formal architecture triplet like:
cpu-company-os(-kernel)

on my Pentium machine gives
MACHTYPE=i686-pc-cygwin
and it's the same in Earnie's current Msys cygwin DLL -
based system as in Cygwin proper.

I am wondering why?

Obviously one would expect the shell variable value to 
be "i586-pc-(cygwin|msys)"?

  TIA,
