Patches are welcome. Someone should just need to make sure there are
no unsupported COFF stuff for -mingw32 and call gcc / ld only for
linking.

This is the common misconception (look for mailing list archives for
prior discussion on this topic).

Maybe it will be better to rename -win32 / -win64 target triplets to
-msvc32 -/ - msvc64 to make the distinction clear from the beginning
