That worked for me.

I've uploaded a new mintty to
ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/64bit/install, after checking fixes into
svn trunk. It's built with the native x86_64 toolchain.

I've also tried ye olde date fork benchmark (`while true; do date;
done | uniq -c`), on a Windows 8-64 laptop: I got 26 dates per second
with 32-bit Cygwin, but 50 with 64-bit Cygwin, so that's looking quite
promising.
