Fedora 16 is still mingw.org based. The switch to w64 depends on Red 
Hat's legal team giving the OK on the switch. In the mean time you can 
add and enable the cross repo[1] that includes all the w64 packages.

In regards to detecting the tool chains, the prefix for the tools could 
be used.

i686-pc-mingw for mingw.org
i686-w64-mingw for w64
