This is mostly correct -- I do like to think of TDM-GCC as a bit more of 
a different breed of compiler, and recommend one take the same 
precautions when mixing TDM-GCC DLLs with other compilers' that one 
would take when mixing MSVC with GCC. Nevertheless, TDM-GCC is still 
based on GCC and anyone who has used another GCC distribution should be 
able to use TDM-GCC without significant changes.

Trunk, rev 5385.

For the benefit of the original poster -- TDM-GCC solves this by giving 
the 64-bit runtime DLLs different names, a measure which has not been 
adopted upstream, though I feel it should be.

If all the jargon hasn't scared you off yet, Christer, TDM-GCC may meet 
your needs for a native bi-arch (my preferred terminology over multilib) 
toolchain, and you can check it out at <http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/>.
