You cannot avoid duplicate files, because they do different things.
For example, the DJGPP version of ld.exe produces an executable
program in the DJGPP-style COFF format, while the Mingw32 version
produces native Windows PE executables.

Simply keep the two installations in separate directories, and arrange
for batch files or shortcuts to flip environment variables to switch
between the two development environments.
