You're welcome! Please remember that MinGW-w64 does not mean it is 64-bit.
It provides both 32- and 64-bit headers/libs. The "w64" in the name was
originally because that was the project's principal goal, among extending
the API completeness and compatibility with MSVC. Just so that I don't find
any MinGW-w64/.org 64-bit misconceptions in LLVM code later ;-) It's an
understandable mistake (and the name doesn't help at all :-/)
