This has now changed since mingw64 now exists. I use it via
CodeBlocks and find the x64 code qulaity is very good.
It compiles GMP and MPIR for Windows x64 in generic C mode and gives a
reasonable performance given the absense of any assembler support.
It has taken a long time for mingw64 to arrive because of a 'chicken
and egg' problem in that the compiler needs GMP and MPFR for
generating compile time constants but the standard version of GMP was
not available on Windows x64 for a long time.
