Hi,

I was thinking of putting them in PREFIX/bin32 and bin64 respectively, 
at least the GCC related target DLLs and dependencies, so they can be 
shared if I do make a 32bit default toolchain.

For unrelated 3rd party libraries which are not multilib aware, such as 
64bit libogg and libvorbis DLLs (if they ever do get packaged), IMHO, 
the DLLs should go alongside the .la files. They should also probably 
use a different prefix than the w64 toolchain, so no 32bit vs 64bit 
install clashes.
