We have never tried the win64 platform, and I don't have access to a
Windows 64bit machine.
But I suspect that even if you removed all external dependencies, the
result would not work;
pypy's compilation tools implicitly assume that sizeof(long)==sizeof(void*)

Before running a translation, could you run the tests in pypy/translator/c ?
in the pypy directory, run:
    python test_all.py translator/c
I'd like at least the files "test_genc" and "test_newgc" to pass without errors.
