A question:
This page deals with 32 bit fpc/lazarus at least on Windows...
If I want to build the 64 bit version, where should I then put the 64
bit binutils?
The suggested path c:\freepascal\binutils\i386-win32\ seems incorrect.

Could I set it to c:\freepascal\binutils\x86_64-win64\ ?
Or does it not matter? I really would like to have both 32 and 64 bit
available.
