Those files are not architecture independent. They are somewhat similar
to .o files. They contain the run time library for the language,
compiled to native windows object files. If you want to compile your own
program with them afterwards, they are linked together into a windows
executable.
You could argue that they should belong in a -devel package. But since
this package is a compiler, we decided not to split it up into a devel
package and a non-devel package. As that would be pointless, as one will
not work without the other.
