    I also heard that 64-bit gcc in cygwin is unavailable now, so I use
mingw-64 as my candidate 64-bit comiler in Cygwin environment. I don't know
if I choose the right thing, or if I have some other choices now?

    According to zhou, if cygwin has it's own 64-bit gcc compiler, it'll be
a good news.
