Yes, I tracked the changes related to 64-bit Windows.

There is issues with 64-bit Windows build that needs fixing also. Differences
between System V ABI and Win64 ABI cause problems with AMD64 assembly parts and
at some places pointers are cast to 'long' and on Win64 sizeof pointer !=
sizeof long.
