Nah, _WIN32 and _WIN64 have always been the standard definitions. _WIN32 
is always defined, and _WIN64 is additionally defined for 64-bit 
targets. But some toolchains used their own non-standard definitions 
(e.g. MinGW defined "WIN32")

I think there might be a problem ;-)

These paths are wrong. The toolchain should be in the "mingw32" resp. 
"mingw64" folder.

Just a quick check: did you follow all the steps in 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/INSTALL.txt?

Especially, did you install the necessary toolchains and do you run your 
commands from the "MINGW32" shell resp. the "MINGW64" shell? Don't use 
the "MSYS" shell for compiling!
