Its the tls-mingwrt.3.20.patch it rejects the 64 bit part:

-_CRTALLOC(".tls") const IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY64 _tls_used = {
-  (ULONGLONG) &_tls_start+1, (ULONGLONG) &_tls_end, (ULONGLONG) 
&_tls_index,
+_CRTALLOC(".rdata$TLS") const IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY64 _tls_used = {
+  (ULONGLONG) &_tls_start, (ULONGLONG) &_tls_end, (ULONGLONG) &_tls_index,

Why sould it matter that crossdev is on F:\ ? from within msys it should 
behave exactly the same.

Also do you have some idea about the multiline strings in options.c? 
Google tells me that multiline strings got deprecated starting with gcc 
4.0.0 (current mingw vanilla is gcc 4.7.2)
