What if I cross compiling to x86_64-w64-mingw32 target, can't I use is_plat("mingw") to detect platform?

That means, can we infer target arch and target platform according to --cross?

why not use llvm-mingw + mingw toolchain. not llvm toolchain

why not use llvm-mingw + mingw toolchain. not llvm toolchain

I do use llvm-mingw toolchain. The reason why I leave that comments is that clang does not distinguish between local compilation and cross compilation. Therefore, compiling with clang's default target and a sysroot clang detected automatically should be the same behavior when I specify the target and sysroot path. Last but not least, I use 24bit-xjkp's script so that I can use triplet+sysroot style cross compilation. If xmake use triplet+sysroot at the begging, xjkp's hundreds of lines of script should not start with supporting --sysroot flag during configuration. And I think that -rtlib and -unwindlib flag should also be supported by xmake.

Can we use -arch and -plat to infer target triplet instead of using -p cross and --cross=? That means, xmake also not distinguish native compilation and cross compilation. I am a beginner of xmake, so, please correct me if somewhere is wrong.
