[vbox-dev] diff for configure.vbs for 64 build

[Frank Mehnert]

Huihong,

we are using version 3.3.3 of MingW32 and this has to be the 32-bit
version, even for Windows 64 (remember, the raw mode == non-VT-x/AMD-V
mode is always 32 bit).

Cross-compiling on Linux is no problem in general as gcc -m32 produces
32-bit code even on 64-bit machines and 32-bit binaries run well on
64-bit machines as well (but both should apply to Windows as well).

Kind regards,

Frank
