In our previous episode, Sven Barth said:
Does anyone know the reason why 64-bit Windows was added as win64
instead of (x86_64-)win32? With Linux it was done the ${platform}-linux
way as well.
It's afaik microsofts own designation.
If that's the only reason then that sounds a bit lame in my opinion...
but what's done is done.
Why? It would only cause confuse to name it different than it is
officially called.
Because I consider Win32 and Win64 as one type of operating system. One
"OS target". Just as Linux is one operating system for all those
available platforms.
Maybe it would have been better to name the target "windows" instead of
"win32" and "win64" from the beginning so there would be no confusion
regarding this...
But that's just my opinion ^^

Sven
