I assume you could shrink down our package by simply calling strip on
the executables (/bin, /libexec/gcc/<target>/<gcc-version/, and
/<target>/bin).
The reaon for those two folders is a bootstrap issue of gcc. You
should keep both names and please don't delete them. To symlink mingw
-> target folder is fine as NightStrike suggested it.

Cheers,
Kai
