We were talking on #mingw-w64 about how cumbersome building a multilib
toolchain is. It's surely possible, but it's a lot of work, and so a
lot of people just plain don't bother with it.
Jon, however, already did all the work in a reproducible way such that
it's already done and doesn't need to be re-done. So it's not that
big of a deal, really, that building multilib is cumbersome. Jon did
it, and recorded the steps. So.... it's not really a headache for
anyone else.
