32 bit lib dirs on cygwin64, advice sought

["Jason Pyeron" <jpyeron at pdinc dot us>]

I feel I am making things way too complicated.

I have a Makefile, which is building a static library [1] in both 32 and 64
bit. The current issue is it creates a static lib (.a file) and installs
both the 32 and 64 to /usr/lib/, which is not working because the 64 and 32
bit lib overwrite each other.

I found the following gcc queries give me the correct target install dir on
cygwin64 [2]:

$ gcc -m64 -print-search-dirs | grep ^libraries | sed 's/^libraries: =//;
s/:/\n/g;' | grep -v ^/usr/lib/gcc | grep -v "^/usr/lib/$(gcc
-dumpmachine)/" | head -n 1
/usr/lib/../lib/

$ gcc -m32 -print-search-dirs | grep ^libraries | sed 's/^libraries: =//;
s/:/\n/g;' | grep -v ^/usr/lib/gcc | grep -v "^/usr/lib/$(gcc
-dumpmachine)/" | head -n 1
/usr/lib/../lib32/

My Google fu has failed to identify a more simple method for identifying the
"32 bit" lib dir with regards to the 64 bit gcc.

For now I am going to hard code the /usr/lib32/ in the Makefile on target
ia32 for cygwin64.

Obviously the ability for compiling 64 bin on cygwin 32 bit is a non-issue
because of the following gcc [3] error: "sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode
not compiled in"

Thanks!
