I'm thinking of working on getting GDC MinGW binaries up somewhere. I
understand the MinGW build process is highly non-trivial, and I'm
trying to
decide if it's worth the effort. What is the status of MinGW for 64-bit
Windows? Is there any theoretical reason why 64-bit GDC for MinGW
shouldn't
work? If not, then I'll try to make it work.

It may be a good start to build 32bit Windows binaries for GDC (and
maybe provide an installer or something) and, with that experience, try
to get 64bit Windows binaries.
I don't know if there's any reason why 64bit Windows binaries shouldn't
work.

Building GDC MinGW binaries wasn't _that_ complicated before,
the only trick* was making relocatable (away from C:\MinGW)...

Mostly ./configure && make, after all the patching was done ?
