Seems I wasn't clear enough:

This is *one* MSYS2 system (on a 64bit machine), with the packages for both the toolchains for mingw32 and mingw64 installed.
The only difference between using it to compile MinGW 64bit or 32bit executables is the environment setting. (In the similar fashion as on the Windows command shell, where the difference between using VisualStudio 32bit and 64bit compilers is the environment setting achieved by running vsvarsall.bat.)

Perl is running on MSYS2.

$ perl -V

Title:
  EpicsHostArch script does not detect recent MSYS2/MinGW setups on
  Windows

Status in EPICS Base:
  New
Status in EPICS Base 3.15 series:
  New
Status in EPICS Base 7.0 series:
  New

Bug description:
  On MSYS2/MinGW installations, the EpicsHostArch script does not
  recognize the host platform correctly.

  64bit:
  $ ./startup/EpicsHostArch
  lib/perl/EpicsHostArch.pl: Architecture 'x86_64-msys-thread-multi' not recognized

  32bit:
  $ ./startup/EpicsHostArch
  lib/perl/EpicsHostArch.pl: Architecture 'x86_64-msys-thread-multi' not recognized

  Which is not surprising, as the underlying MSYS2 subsystem is the
  same, and the difference is in the environment settings that point to
  the appropriate toolchain.

  64bit:
  $ echo $PATH
  /mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
  $ printenv | grep MSYSTEM
  MSYSTEM_CARCH=x86_64
  MSYSTEM_CHOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
  MSYSTEM_PREFIX=/mingw64
  MSYSTEM=MINGW64

  32bit:
  $ echo $PATH
  /mingw32/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
  $ printenv | grep MSYSTEM
  MSYSTEM_CARCH=i686
  MSYSTEM_CHOST=i686-w64-mingw32
  MSYSTEM_PREFIX=/mingw32
  MSYSTEM=MINGW32

  NB: I am impressed by the clarity and simplicity of MSYS2 / MinGW
