The what? There's no such thing as a 64-bit version of Cygwin. Cygwin
can only run in the WOW64 environment on a 64-bit Windows. I also fail
to see where you got the idea that the snapshot directory (I assume you
mean http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/, don't you?) has a 64-bit version
available.
Cygwin has no code to run in the 64-bit environment and there's not even
a gcc or any other part of the toolchain available to create x86_64
PE/COFF files, AFAIK.
