Careful. The original (32-bit) mingw project is obsolete, and its 
replacement, the mingw64 project, provides both 32- and 64-bit 
environments.  Even more confusingly, Fedora ships the mingw64 
cross-compilers under the names i686-w64-mingw32-gcc (build for a 32-bit 
environment) and x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc (build for a 64-bit 
environment).  Historical naming causes confusion.

So your question may not be relevant, especially given that 
tests/docker/test-mingw builds both 32- and 64-bit mingw builds.
