ok, I'll try that. But I also suspect a win32/mingw limitation on files
bigger than 2Gb, since "gcc -dumpspecs" does not show anything
related to -m64, which I'd expect to have to add to CFLAGS to
be able to use iso or qcow images bigger than 2Gb.

Apparently, experimental build of cygwin may carry 64 bits capable
gcc+binutils (I'll try that too)
