You have downloaded the sources to the MinGW-w64 CRT and headers.
You want the prebuilt toolchain binaries found in:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/
There, you will find Personal builds by me (GCC 4.7 prerelease and 4.6) and sezero (GCC 4.4/4.5) in the form of zip or 7z archives you can unzip and use after adding
mingw??/binto your PATH.You can also use the sometimes more updated autobuilds, but they’re lacking some features.
Note there are also cross-compilers for Linux.
