My gut feeling is that this is best kept as two separate builds for the platform. IMO we don't want to have to resort to a lot of trickery fighting the system's preferred modus operandi as it will, as you write, likely blow up in our faces.

Oh no, compilation will be complex.

Not really.
You basically have to build twice...

oh no, i forgot about the intricacies of the windows build.

with macOS and Linux we have this nice single "pd" binary (or "pd64").
but with Windows we need the supporting pd.dll library where all the 
guts live (so externals have something to link against), and as of now, 
double-precision externals on Windows will link against pd.dll as well 
(but expect that to be contain the double-variant).
