Hi,

sorry I mixed this up.  I read you mail reporting that there is a build
problem for a 32 bit Libgcrypt DLL and that the mentioned 64 bit problem
was just a question. :-(

And of course, I can replicate your problem building a 64 bit DLL.  To
fix the problem I backported two patches.

WARNING: Do not use that 64 bit Libgcrypt DLL - I have doubts that the
RNG gets sufficient entropy.

I see no good reason to distribute 64 bit Windows binaries of GnuPG.
For certain DLL it is required, for example when used by plugins for 64
bit Windows binaries.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
