When attempting to compress 64-bit Windows executables and dynamic libraries generated by the Mingw-w64 version of TDM-GCC you receive an error message "can't pack new-exe."

I've included an example "int main(){ return 0; }" compiled with GCC.

Compressing 64 bit windows executables is not supported. Someone has started working on it last year, but unfortunately the code was not finished.
