There is no source for that binary.  Mike Frysinger apparently built that
exe as a one-off exercise several years ago.  I do not know what build
instructions he used for it.

You are aware that there is an unofficial Win "port" of nano?  See:

  https://github.com/lhmouse/nano-win

It seems it builds both a 32-bit and a 64-bit binary.
