Hi Jere

I definitely consider Mingw64 a 64bit build environment, and I have recently
started using it rather than building a cross compiler on Linux (which is what
the build scripts do)

So yes mingw64 is sufficient and very useable. Adacore community edition, now
that its 64Bit should also work (although I must admit I have not as yet tested
this.
