This may be a little off topic, but I beleive there's enough of an

One of my clients is interested in getting MINGW working on win64.
We're considering engaging codesourcery to do the work.
Anyone out there interested/able to co-funding the work?
For the record, I know I saw something somewhere within the last month
or two about binutils adding support for win64, which is a major part of
this project. If you aren't the person that made the announcement I am
thinking of, you might want to be careful about not duplicating work
that someone else is already doing. (I'd have to think that whoever is
working on it already would appreciate help, however.)
The patch has been submitted so I think the only help required is to
test it.
The discussion is going on in the binutils_AT_sourceware_PERIOD_org mailing
list.
I was also thinking of gcc/gdb (and of course ironing out bugs in the
various ports, i.e. Cygwin, mingw, Interix); my impression was that what
was "done" (at least when I heard) was just binutils and gcc/gdb would
be the next steps. Maybe I'm wrong?
Anyway, we are certainly in agreement that Bill's main effort should be
to test/improve what is already done rather than re-invent the wheel.
Thanks for the link (and for reminding me where I saw this). :-)
