32bits Mame build & Archopts

Hi,
Target machine: 'old' C2D-E8400 WinXP (x86).
Dev machine: i5 Win7 (x64).
Tools used: mingw-mame-20121207
Each time i'm trying to add any ARCHOPTS (core2 for example), the resulting build doesn't work in windowed mode on any systems XPx86 or 7x64. (mame.exe -window or windows 1 in mame.ini). no debug/log/error msgs. It works in fullscreen.
Without ARCHOPTS, the build is fine and working in windowed mode on both machines.
On Mr Do's guide i saw that the mingw tools are different for 32bits hosts, but the specified versions are outdated.
tl;dr
What's is the best way/tools to build working 32bits mame ?
Is it better to build it with a true 32bits OS ?
Thanks.
Edit: i've tried with mame148 and 149/149u1 sources and same results for both.

Best off not using any ARCHOPTS. You get unpredictable results for very little gain. You'd be better off installing Windows 7 64-bit on that machine and using MAME64.

Lets review what has been said thus far.
Building with Archopts = problems and building without it results in everything running fine.
The solution is either get a 64-bit system or quit using Archopts.

Don't use ARCHOPTS. The reason we tell people not to unless they are experts is exactly because it is likely to produce a non-working build.
On your CPU, your best speedup will be to install a 64-bit OS and use 64-bit MAME; that's good for often 20% extra FPS on games without ever touching ARCHOPTS.
