In the multiprecision testing jamfile there is a line which has the
requirement:
<toolset>gcc-mingw:<cxxflags>-Wa,-mbig-obj
I do not see a toolset called gcc-mingw nor do I see a subfeature of the
gcc toolset called mingw. I do realize that the gcc toolset has support
for mingw gcc on Windows, which I use myself in my user-config.jam with
the plain designation of:
using gcc : nnn : etc ;
but the nnn is always a version number, like 9.3. The gcc.jam picks up
that this is mingw-w64/gcc implementation internally and works fine with
it. But whatever '<toolset>gcc-mingw' is supposed to mean it does not
applu to my "toolset=gcc-nnn' when I run the test. Can anyone enlighten
me as to what is going on here ?
