A 64-bit build is quite easy if you have basic development skills in either Visual Studio or cygwin. I've compiled a 64-bit version for Windows and a GUI interface which makes things much nicer. I've also written another classification GUI for PDAL, also 64-bit. Here's a link to a video of the PDAL classification tool: https://youtu.be/cHXYh31MT14
I don't have immediate plans to release a 64-bit PC build, but that would be great. Would you be interested in contributing it, Steve? You would of course be given credit for providing it.

Thanks Steve. I'm inexperienced in Visual Studio/cygwin although perhaps I need to play around with it. I have tiled my data and am running parallel batch commands...

The CMAKE/Visual Studio route is the easiest Avoid cygwin unless you're well versed in Linux and makefiles. The only thing that might slow you down are the dependencies. It requires 64-bit builds of Boost and liblas. Other than that, the build process was point-and-click once CMAKE had generated the Visual Studio solution file.
You may find that PDAL is a better solution for you. It offers 2 methods for ground classification (SMRF and PMF) and it is significantly faster than MCC-LIDAR, already has 64-bit binaries ready for use and tt also supports compressed LAZ files. You can download and install it via OS4GEO here: http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe Its command line can be challenging which is why I wrote a GUI for it: https://youtu.be/cHXYh31MT14

Any plans to release mcc-lidar for 64bit PC? I have lots of memory available on my PC but mcc-lidar deems insufficent memory...

And here's the thread about the MCC-LIDAR GUI with screenshot: https://sourceforge.net/p/mcclidar/discussion/961944/thread/06d1f263/
See my other tools at: http://lidarwidgets.com
The GUI versions are no longer freeware.
