In file   config/mingw/Makefile   I see

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ifndef MINGW64
        EXTRA_CPPFLAGS_PLAIN += -DUSE_FAKEPIPES
else
        EXTRA_CPPFLAGS_PLAIN += -DPIPES
endif
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Does this mean that the 64-bit Mingw executable uses real pipes
but the 32-bit executable uses emulation?
Is it only true for Mingw?
