My toolchains do not have the second variation (last time I checked, I
could very well be wrong though). What file did you download?
It seems you downloaded a toolchain built as a cross-compiler. The prefix
i686... means it targets 32-bit Windows. A prefix of x86_64... means it
targets 64-bit. If you don't want prefixed executables, download a native
compiler. For my toolchains, this means using files with names of the form
i686...win32 and x86_64....win64.
If you know how GCC works on Unix, all you should know to use MinGW-w64
toolchains is that you need to add the toplevel "bin" directory to PATH and
call the compiler executables as you would on Unix.
