Yes, GCC does care about both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts and 8-bit, 16-bit,
20-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit targets.  Sure, 64-bit hosts are these
days more important, but still GCC is used in many kinds of different
environment.  Portability is a very important goal of the project.
Speaking as one of the Release Managers responsible for it.
