Attached some patches for win64 compilation.
Current status:
I managed to cross-compile TL for win64, using mingw packages from
my distro (archlinux), and the recommended versions, compiled from
source, of autotools.
Because of some as yet unresolved problems, I omitted synctex,
dvisvgm and xetex from the default set. Hitex did not compile
either.
I did some light testing. Things basically worked, although
[pdf|lua]latex format files were not compatible.
With these same patches I also did a native compile, this time with
the more modern ucrt runtime rather than the classic msvcrt runtime,
with similar results. For more on ucrt, see
https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/.
