[Mingw-users] Can mingw be configured to compile 64 bit code?

[John M. <gia...@gm...>]

Can MinGW be configured to compile code that's 64 bit rather than 32
bit? The project description says, "The project's name changed from
mingw32 to MinGW is to prevent the implication that MinGW will only
works on 32 bit systems (as 64 and higher bit machines become more
common, MinGW will evolve to work with them)." I don't know if that
only refers to the fact that it can compile on 64 bit machines, or if
it implies it can also compile 64 bit code.

My apologies but I browsed the documentation and mailing list archives
but couldn't locate an answer to this.
