 Hi,

 I am following

   https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/hosts/windows.html

 to build a Windows Host toolchain on Linux Mint 19. However, the build of
 rtems-tools fails with: "unknown host: i686-w64-mingw32".

 I can track the issue down to the function "check_options" in the wscript.
 The function expects a host called "mingw32" or "x86_64-w64-mingw32". My
 naive solution would be to simply extend the list with "i686-w64-mingw32",
 but I've just started with RTEMS so I might have choosen a wrong path in
 an earlier step.
