I doubt that there is a 64-bit version of gcc-mingw, but as long as you don't need to use HUGE data-memory, you should be fine usig the 32-bit version (you even get a lot more memory if you mark you app to be "LARGE_MEMORY" aware, as it allows almost all of the 4GB address space for user-mode applications in that case).
