just to remind that I also support this. Also, I know this is old debate, why not switch to mingw-w64 ? People who analyse mxe compared to other build systems always say "but mxe is based on mingw.org"... (actually I have just one example :-P)

My experimental branch has been dormant for a long time, but building the
targets serially [2] has overcome my main objection - simplicity [3]. I
merged the current mxe/master recently, and it works well for packages that
are cross-compile aware (e.g. qt). Current i686-pc-mingw32 builds are the
same as mxe/master.
Was it already possible to build a 64 bit toolchain and now it is only
possible to build all toolchains at once?
In the experimental branch, yes and no. You define the targets by `make
MXE_TARGETS=…` or by configuration of the local settings.mk
When yes, what must I do to compile a 64 bit toolchain from the current
master/stable branch?
There isn't a way from current master/stable (without a lot of work). Clone
the experimental brach [4] and play around with it. The toolchain is
stable, but we need feedback on the infrastructure and any help with 64-bit
package patches is welcome.
I've just tested it with x86_64-static-mingw32 and it works wonderful. I hope
it gets merged in the near future so everyone can enjoy it. Thank you very
much for your work
