Your post is far too vague. Where have you seen all these problems?
What are you doing?
Of course the tools in Rtools have options to select the architecture,
but users normally don't need to set those manually. If you're building
R, use "MULTI=64" on the make command.
If you're calling compilers directly, use the appropriate command line
option or prefix for that compiler. These are all listed in the MkRules
file in src/gnuwin32/MkRules.dist in the R sources, or in the help pages
for the commands.
