Cgo: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in

I'm currently trying to add some C code to my Go project. nothing fancy

/*
#include <stdio.h>
void test() {
    printf("hooola")
}
*/

import (
    "C"
)

func MessageBox() {
    C.test()
}

However this will return

cc1.exe: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in

I checked my g++ and gcc compilers and everything seems fine, g++ -v returns this

While gcc --version returns this

Both installed using mingw64bits so I am not sure where my problem is coming from?

Solution
    1. Short Answer:
      I tried many versions, the Only working version for both 32-bit and 64-bit go build in 64-bit Windows OS is tdm64-gcc-5.1.0-2.exe (see the tdm-gcc page).
      You may install it to C:\TDM-GCC-64\ and add C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin to your PATH (on top = or left).
    1. You may try MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64-bit Windows Or x64-4.8.1-release-posix-seh-rev5.
      This versions works fine just for the 64-bit build (not 32-bit target on 64-bit OS).

    1. For Windows OS run your command prompt: cmd (terminal in Linux) then run this command (whereis gcc in Linux):

      where gcc

      Then if there are multiple gcc paths, then you may edit the order of these and put the one you need in the top or remove all others.

    I hope this helps.
