I am sure I have all the support libraries for the 32-bit mingw

No; the mingw64 cross-compiler is required for building
cyglsa64.dll.

Thank you, Yaakov. The nomenclature that has developed for the 32-bit
and 64-bit builds of the mingw toolchain can be confusing to say the
least, so I have to ask which "mingw64" cross-compiler you are talking
about? mingw64-i686 (which I suppose is the 32-bit version), or
mingw64-x86_64?

mingw64-x86_64
