What exactly do you not understand in the error message
  "sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in"
Did you read the README which comes with the gcc package?

You are using:  -mno-cygwin -m64
Why do you ask mingw questions here at cygwin?
Please hurry over to mingw-users.

This is a different architecture with 64bit support.

Google would have been your friend. That is a fantastic and completely
new way to find information by yourself, without the need to wait for
answers from mailing lists.
There's a unsupported and problematic/incompatible mingw build:
http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ for 4.3
and
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ for win64
