That's just a convenience vehicle.  A user can invoke a 32-bit or a
64-bit compiler without running those batch files.

You may wish to re-read the beginning of this bug.  There, I explained
that using a MinGW64 compiler to produce a 32-bit binary is a kind of
cross-compilation, as far as a toolchain running on a 64-bit machine
is concerned.  Therefore, we could require the users that do such a
thing to provide explicit host at configure time.  Óscar wanted to be
nicer to MinGW64 users, so we went one more step towards them.

But it would be IMO wrong to develop a theory out of that.  In theory,
they should provide a configuration type, period.  Neither MSYS2 nor
its 'uname' can do that job.  We tweaked our configury because we
decided to do so, and as long as it works, I see no need for pushing
that any further.
