MinGW 32 and 64 bit are not that different, 64bit just needs a patch (for ICU 
if I recall correctly).

With vanilla 5.0.0 your only drawback is that WebKit does not work. Everything 
else is fine.

See for example:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
http://silmor.de/qtstuff.qt5mingw.php

One hint that will make it easier: do not try to use GCC as a cross-compiler! 
Like the Mingw32 gcc to compile for 64bits or the Mingw64 gcc to compile 
32bits - finding out how and where to apply the correct options on three 
different projects will drive you crazy! It is far easier to install both and 
use each one for its default target.
