Not really.  The closest thing is ARM64EC and ARM64X, a DLL built with
those will let you use the same DLL for both ARM64 and x64, but only on
ARM64.  I know there has been work to support those in LLVM/LLD and
mingw-w64, don't know about gcc/binutils support.

I think they expect the installer to decide which type of DLL to install
based on the host machine...
