Quite so. At the time I did this, I couldn't find an x64 Strawberry build
anywhere, so I was only able to test with ActivePerl and MSVC compilers.

Since the assembly syntaxes used by Visual Studio's ml64 and GNU's assembler
are so different, it's not feasible to have one file that can use both. To fix
this, someone will have to write the equivalent Call_x64_real function for GCC
to do the same that the MSVC assembly one does. It should be slightly easier,
since (IIRC) GCC on x64 still supports inline assembly, where MSVC doesn't.
