Any plan to support Windows/x86-64?

I haven't heard of anyone wanting to work on such a port.

What you'ld need for any OS port.  GCC needs to support the Windows
x64 ABI, you need a suitable runtime library, and you need a suitable
assembler and linker.

I'm not sure how close the Windows x64 ABI is to the x86-64 ABI, but it
seems to be a fair bit different.  Porting MinGW should be the simplest
way to get a suitable runtime library, though maybe you'ld want to use
a newer version of the Microsoft C runtime libary.  Using binutils as
the assembler and linker is pretty much a given, but they'd need to be
ported to support the Windows x64 PE32+ PECOFF, if they don't already.
