perhaps we should change the way we use the host information? I got an 
answer from the bug.
From there I found this:

https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/wiki2/TypeTriplets/

- i686-w64-mingw32
- x86_64-w64-mingw32

so "ming32" is the name of the "vendor", it is confusing... I guess it 
kept compatibility with the original mingw project. But, in case it 
would be called like "mingw2" but still be the same.

The architecture is i686 or x86_64, can we match that to make the 
decisions in gnustep-make?
