Thanks for sharing your experiments!

Given that the issues shouldn't be compiler-specific (at least I
hope so), using the latest release of GCC should be a safe bet.

Sometime it takes a while for the packages to appear. You might
want to get in touch with the Mingw-64 people anyway (e.g. join
their mailing list) since you are actively working with their stuff.

I had a look at it, and it looks really strange to me that disabling
thread-safety is necessary to get it running. This looks more like
a compiler or win32api issue to me. Or maybe some threading lib
(like pthreads-w32) is missing in the list of dependencies?
Anyway, thanks for sharing this, hopefully more people are having
a look at it and are experimenting with it, especially those who
explicitly asked for 64-bit support on this list.
Greets,
