Is it possible to hijack the "deal with 32-bit vs 64-bit"ness of things to handle the different compilers? So, for instance, there might be a "32-bit-NewCompiler" and a "64-bit-NewCompiler", two new architectures, just as if someone came out with a 128-bit Windows and built Python 2.7 for it. Would packaging be able to handle that more easily than a compiler change within the same architecture?
