In general, no, there is no prominent warning. The $archname contains a
few of the most common binary incompatibility terms (e.g. 64 vs 32 bit,
threads vs no-threads) but there are many, many others not contained in
$archname.
The cygwin hints could put a message in the 'config.msg' file, which gets
displayed to the user at the end of the Configure run.
