That is unfriendly to the end-user.  Note the discussion deals with
more than just GCC it is a deployment of the client code using GCC
that is in discussion.  Businesses will not like your product very
well if you have to go configure the client PC using it.

Again the segregation is needed for the executable if you supply both
a 32bit and a 64bit version in the same deployment.  So taking a clue
from the Windows/ directory sysnative/ contains the binaries for the
64bit versions and syswow64 contains the 32bit versions that run under
the emulator.  So MyApp/bin contains the native 64bit version and
MyApp/bin32 contains the 32bit versions and MyApp must provide a
manifest so Windows OS knows which is which.  The associated DLL would
go to the same directories for convenience to the user.
