No, it does not exist.  Sorry.

First we need a gcc and assembler for 64 bit.  That does not esist, see 
this talks:
http://search.gmane.org/?query=64Bit+Windows&group=gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user

The second: Some need to change the inline assembler for switching from 
64 bit Windows into 32 bit linux, or from 64 bit windows into 64 bit linux.
Or some one would rewrite the switching code to build it with Windows 
DDK for 64 bit (currently the source can only compile with gnu gcc).

That is a lot of doing, before such code would runs.

Plese search for "64 bit" on the devel list, there exist some more 
peaples with 64 bits ideas:
