It appears various symbols are missing from Python27.lib, 64bit build.
Here is a list of undefined symbols (from link errors):

These symbols do not exist in 64bit, but are there in the 32bit library.See for instance PyFloat_Type:

victor@ligetipc ~/csound6/debug
$ nm /c/Python27/libs/Python27.lib | grep "PyFloat_Type"

victor@ligetipc ~/csound6/debug
$ nm /c/Python27-i386/libs/libpython27.a | grep "PyFloat_Type"
00000000 I __imp__PyFloat_Type
00000000 T _PyFloat_Type

I don't know how mingw64 is supposed to work, but going by the 32-bit mingw, you might have to create a libpython27.a first.

That did the trick! Apparently we can't link to MSVC dlls
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Answer%2064%20bit%20MSVC-generated%20x64%20.lib

Creating a *.a fixes it.
Thanks.

If somebody would contribute a patch for msi.py that builds the file, and instructs me what tools I need installed, I'd be willing to include this in future releases (also for 2.7).

I don't know how to patch the installer, but here are the commands for someone who does. You need gendef and dlltool, which should come with the standard mingw64 installation.
From python27.dll:

$ gendef python27.dll
$ dlltool --as-flags=--64 -m i386:x86-64 -k --output-lib libpython27.a --input-def python27.def

For peoples who interesting in supporting building Python with mingw-w64 compiler I can get some links.

More than a year ago we start providing our own builds of Python 2.7+3.3 builded with mingw-w64 compiler.
I'm developer of MSYS2 project - modern fork of Cygwin with MSYS functionality + pacman package manager (ported from Arch Linux).

You can easily build your own Python with mingw-w64 using our patches that include patches from Roumen Petrov (rpetrov) and our own.

Python-2.7.6 patches:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python2

Python-3.3.3 patches:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3

Also you can get prebuilded python and other mingw-w64 packages using MSYS2 with pacman.

Regards,
Alexey.
