Summary0000374: rotd-2015-01-13 fails to install with mingw64
DescriptionBuilding from the source distribution with the mingw-builds x86_64-4.9.2-posix-rseh t_v3-rev1 compiler
aborts during 'make install' when building the optimisation interface for library.m in grade asm_fast.gc.
The abort occurs during expansion of equivalence types. I strongly suspect this is down to C stack
exhaustion but haven't confirmed this yet.
Additional InformationThe same occurs with the mingw-builds x86_4.8.1-posix-seh-rev5 compiler.

32-bit builds of the same rotd using the standard mingw32 compiler are unaffected.

Actually, the stack overflow occurs during the conversion of clauses during the initial construction
of the HLDS. The actual problem here is that I forgot to pass --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 to configure
and so the stack limit on mercury_compile.exe was ridiculously small.

This *is* all documented in README.MinGW, but I think we need a better way of ensuring that *if* we
are using a MinGW64 under msys or cygwin that the host architecture is set correctly. I'll keep this
bug open until I find a better way ...
