Description

Currently the executable builds a Win32 using IA32. There is an AMD64 backend so we could build an x86_64 bit executable. To do this the initial file blob will need to be adjusted for 64bit, along with the bootconf.txt settings and the SJC command for building "win-exe" / "win-app"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the SJC compiler's existing Win32 build configuration, identify the 64 bit adjustments needed in the initial file blob (likely PE format), update bootconf.txt for x86 64, and modify the SJC command parameters for building win exe/win app.
