Or what do I miss? That _I_ use MinGW32? Seriously, though: from my POV, MinGW64 is not reliable yet to switch to it completely, their development still breaks the libraries too often, and there are significant backward-incompatible changes now and then. The fact that there's no official releases of MinGW64 doesn't help. And no, MinGW64 is not a superset of MinGW32, it's a different project with an incompatible ABI and subtly incompatible header files. (Please don't start an argument about that, I'm not really interested.) Even if there were no problems with MinGW64, I don't think we should stop supporting MinGW32 just like that, it is still a live project, and I, for one, is quite happy with it. I hope GDB will not drop its support any time soon.
