Last I heard of that there was issues getting the win32 version working and
in sync with every other gcc port, other than perhaps an OS/2 port which
might even be further behind than cygwin.  I have serious doubts about a
64-bit gcc for anything but Unices.  Maybe OpenVMS on an Alpha but even
there I have heard they were using a commercial C compiler which offhand I
forget what was called but "Pure64" comes to mind.  I'll have to
check sometime when I get bored enough to browse.  :::shudder:::

Have you tried gcc-4.2 yet?  Been having a few difficulties with it and
building a glibc package once it gcc is bootstrapped.  Beats me why that is
but it keeps getting into an infinite loop on something in the ntpl stuff. 
Do you have any help or words of wisdom in this cause?

Life is good,
Maurice
