I understand, but GCC/binutils classifies a i686-hosted x86_64-targetting
compiler as a "cross-compiler", so it puts the prefix there automatically.
I'm not going to remove it, because this is handy for configure scripts
(just pass --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 and everything should work
automagically).
If you want a 64-bit targetting compiler without prefixes, download the
x86_64...-win64 package, which is a native 64-bit to 64-bit compiler. It is
best to use the full native compiler for everything, unless you have
special requirements (like compiling 64-bit code on 32-bit Windows, or you
need a 64-bit linker executable).
You can of course always try renaming the executables, but that might have
some undocumented drawback somewhere (but normally should work).
