Ok. The host doesn't matter, either i686 or x86-64, as far as the
target triple is "x86_64-{mingw32|win32}".

As I said, PE+(x64)-aware linker and corresponding runtime libraries
(x86_64-w64-mingw32's libgcc or msvc runtime) would be required to
you.

It would be great if you could use compiler-rt for your target. AFAIK,
no one would try to use compiler-rt on x64.
(compiler-rt is libgcc's alternative in this case. *-mingw32 is expected)

On cygwin, configure is expected to work. I heard cmake would work as
well, though, I have not used cmake on cygwin.

Without cygwin, you may take cmake for mingw, not only msys. Ninja
build is better (than msys gnu make or mingw32-make) if you will play
llvm with cmake.
