From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> When git.rc is compiled into git.res, the result is actually dependent on the architecture. That is, you cannot simply link a 32-bit git.res into a 64-bit git.exe. Therefore, to allow 32-bit and 64-bit builds in the same directory, we let git.res depend on GIT-PREFIX so that it gets recompiled when compiling for a different architecture (this works because the exec path changes based on the architecture: /mingw32/libexec/git-core for 32-bit and /mingw64/libexec/git-core for 64-bit).
