The open-source tools used for compiling the Windows version of Analog 
are 32-bit only. There are some people working on 64-bit versions of 
these tools, but the status of MinGW is still marked as "3-Alpha" - 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

In all honesty, you might get a better response to your question from 
the people who are developing the compiler tools - if it's simpley a 
question of recompiling the existing code as a 64-bit binary, then it'd 
be a simple task for them. If it involves any significant code changes 
to Analog, then there is very little history of such work being handled 
on this list.
