Issue Compiling Botan Using MinGW in Windows7 64bit

Question

I am trying to install the non-MSVC version of Botan to my environment. I downloaded the tarball, extracted the files, and ran configure.py

After running configure.py, I run make, make fails with a "sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in" error.

What is this error caused by and how do I fix it?

Output from configure.py:

Ok, I seem to have resolved the issue by forcing configure.py to assume a 32bit processor.

./configure.py --cpu="i386"
