This will be in gcc 4.4.
>From my LinuxTag trip report this year:
- Kai Tietz of mingw64 told me that they have a GCC patch ready for
gcc 4.4 which will support the Win64 calling convention attribute
just like __attribute__(stdcall).
Was committed to GCC TRUNK:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=rev&sortby=date&revision=136311
__attribute__(ms_abi)
If we have more GCC requirements for Win64, he is willing to help.
In general he would like to have Wine as a testbed for mingw64
development (and we could use it as testbed the other way round).

This was committed to GCC TRUNK (what will be 4.4) on 2008-07-06.
