We can call the 32-bit gcc2h a "BeOS compatible release" and the
x86_64 a "day to day driver" release.

*raises hand*

The x86_64 release won't run on 32-bit hardware, right? Aren't the
overwhelming bulk of the candidate machines that people are going to
want to run Haiku on going to be 32-bit? Wouldn't this basically
disenfranchise Haiku's largest userbase?

Then simply run the 32-bit gcc2h that has gcc5 as a secondary architecture.

Not sure what the pain point is here... we're already catering to 32-bit
machines with these R1 release plans :-)
