You could always ask but, if history is any indication of the future,
I don't anticipate any changes before GNAT GPL 2012.

Out of curiosity, why do you need 64-bit support?  Does your program
require more than 2 GB of memory?  If so and if this is urgent, you
can use the 64-bit version of GNAT on another 64-bit operating system
such as Debian on your hardware...
