This approach seems to be wrong. It makes no sense to change emulation
for i386 pr-coff targets. This would break i386 default.
Instead of your patch you should configure options to enable biarch
for binutils here.
At typical multilib version based on i386-*-mingw* can be configured as:
"../configure --prefix=<prefix-dir> --with-sysroot=<prefix-dir>
--target=i686-w64-mingw32
--enable-targets=i686-w64-mingw32,x86_64-w64-mingw32 "
For me this works pretty well and testsuite run works, too.
Cheers,
Kai
