Oh ! It would be nice. For my project built against TDM MinGW64, I pass
this to the resource compiler when 32-bit target :

-F pe-i386

If it can help, my full call to windres as indicated in my IDE
(Code::Blocks) is this one :

$rescomp $res_includes -J rc -O coff -i $file -o $resource_output -F pe-
i386 -DWX_CPU_X86

Also, I read at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18805155/tdm-gcc-w64-
script-to-change-windres-for-32bit (I quote Iron Bug over there) :

Basically, you have to add -F pe-i386 (or --target=pe-i386) after -O coff
flag to your command line if you generate it manually.

In GNU autotools it's about the RCFLAGS. So if there's some configure
script, just add

./configure RCFLAGS="--output-format=coff --target=pe-i386" ...
