For what it is worth, I do have functional 64-bit Guile 3.0.x for
Windows at the link below, but that tree is still full of missteps and
experiments and needs to made into a cleaner patchset.  And I'm still
actively hacking there because I'm trying to a Guile that, once
installed, lives in a single directory like most Windows applications
so I can make an MSIX installer. So it is a bit of a mess, but,
I'm fairly confident the integers are fixed.

That tree was based on, and will eventually contribute
back to

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/log/?h=wip-mingw

Both of these trees require that you  --enable-mini-gmp 
--enable-jit=no and --disable-lto at configure time.
