I should have been more precise.  As of a few months ago, I can build
a 64-bit XEmacs using gcc and Cygwin.  What is _not_ currently
possible is building with Visual Studio, something which _does_ still
work for 32-bit.  Details in threads on this list with subjects such
as 
  Installing XEmacs under Cygwin
  Compiling xemacs with Visual Studio 2015 Community ('free') edition
