Thank you for the information. 

I applied the patch and successfully built gnuplot 4.6.5 using MinGW-w64 (4.8.3)
(+ msys) on windows 7 64bit

I executed the wgnuplot from command line.
It seemed work without problem.

wnguplot started up without '-'. And messages were represented normally.
In addition, echo backs to key stokes worked without problem. 

For me 64 bit gnuplot works fine.

My binary is able to get from
