  Well, the slightly-longer-but-not-very-long term plan is to remove
-mno-cygwin and package up a completely separate mingw cross-compiler, so it
would make a lot of sense to have either a bi-arch capable cross-compiler, or
offer a 64-bit-targeted version alongside the 32-bit-targeted one.

  Is there much in the way of local patching needed?  (I've seen you and Kai
working on the win64 target on the gcc-l, but I haven't been following very
closely.)

    cheers,
      DaveK
