If this is what's happened, we need to update https://cygwin.com/setup.html with
the new information (the page is overdue for an overhaul anyway).
I agree that page is very bad at communicating the information it needs
to communicate. Perhaps it would be much more helpful if it had a few
examples of .cygport files rather than diving into the minutiae of
setup.hint files.
However, I took a look over it, but I don't see what needs updating for
this particular change. Can you be more specific about what you think
needs updating?
I have updated https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html
That didn't actually explain before what to do if you are manually
uploading a noarch package ("if you are doing a manual upload, and your
package is noarch, you'll need to upload to both x86 and x86_64"), so
I'm not sure how to update it for the hopefully more straightforward
present situation ("if you are doing a manual upload, and your package
is noarch, upload to noarch").
