I have been using mingw64, windows 7 64-bit, and I have not been able
build full ECL.  However, I can build ecl_min.exe, but it crashes when
executed.

That is weird.  I am able to build both GC and GMP as 64-bit libraries.
Make sure that you're using the mingw64/GCC version that defaults to 64-bit.
(they distribute two sets of compilers with different default.)
