There is no 64-bit specific documentation. It's exactly the same as 32
bit, though.

The problem is that the dlfcn library from google is a 32-bit library.
You need a 64-bit library. This is a general problem; all libraries
you use must also be 64-bit.

Try the newest msi from <http://mlton.org/Experimental>. I included a
64-bit dlfcn in that build. It might not work, though. Please report
back if it does (or does not) work for you.

However, any other libraries you use you will have to find 64-bit
versions of yourself.
