Yes, see:

https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/7a1a77b6765801b1375491602661d466ec2fee0d

Those are used when one tries to build a typelib with widl that uses 
importlib(). mingw-w64 already does the same thing.

Arch pecific bits don't matter for importlib() (and in runtime, we use 
typelibs from DLL files, not from includes). I think that treating just 
like headers generated from IDLs should be fine.
