[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Just to let you know that emacs win64 compiles, dumps and loads.
There are still a couple of glitches. It does not yet bootstrap itself.

Main problems are :
- switch "long" to something that is 64 bits long when compiling for 64
bits architecture
- some functions are implicitly assumed to return an int because they are
not declared before being used
(one malloc() use in w32.c, sbrk() in gmalloc.c), hence they might generate
a sign extension, which is not good.

I will keep on polishing things up to the point it will bootstrap itself.

Greetings,

Fabrice
