No, there isn't. I cross-build the Windows version on Linux using 
mingw32, and I haven't yet experimented with mingw64.
 Frankly, I don't have a pressing need for it, at this point
I'm 
 asking mostly out of curiosity. But given the general trend 
 towards 64bit systems I was wondering about it. 
I've assumed that 32-bit binaries run OK on 64-bit Windows -- is 
that not right?
One obstacle to building a 64-bit gretl distribution for Windows is 
that this would require (I suppose) a 64-bit build of the GTK stack. 
I'm not cross-building GTK (very tricky) but just using what's 
available from 
gtk.org. There is currently a 64-bit build [ 
http://www.gtk.org/download/win64.php ] but it's labeled "Note that 
these 64-bit packages are experimental. Binary compatibility between 
versions is not guaranteed."
Ergo, I'm not going to mess with this until somebody makes a 
convincing case that it's a necessity.
