A nit: that doesn't necessarily mean anything, because a 32-bit build
of 'strip' could well support 64-bit PE executables.  It all depends
on how it was configured.  To know whether it does, say "strip --help"
and look at the list of supported targets at the end.  My 32-bit
binary says:

  strip: supported targets: pe-i386 pei-i386 elf32-i386 elf32-iamcu 
elf32-little elf32-big pe-x86-64 pei-x86-64 pe-bigobj-x86-64 elf64-x86-64 
elf64-l1om elf64-k1om elf64-little elf64-big plugin srec symbolsrec verilog 
tekhex binary ihex

See that pe-x86-64 stuff there?
