It's a cross-toolchain. Using a directory like this is the established
practice for GNU cross-toolchains (and also used by some other
cross-toolchains) and the consensus among Fedora packagers working on
cross-compilation is that this is the way to go. Unfortunately, the
guideline which was supposed to formally codify it never made it to an FPC
vote because of process issues.
MinGW uses /usr/i686-pc-mingw32. I don't really like it, but it's
what gcc wants to use, and everything depends on it. We also formally
had the use of this path approved (just for mingw32-* packages) by FPC.
