You can update ARCH=X64, and try building BaseTools with 64bit VS compiler. If you meet with warning or error, you can try to clean up them.

The Unix BaseTools makefile build for multiple architectures based on what they detect. So the build should generically be clean for X64. 

https://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/GNUmakefile <https://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/GNUmakefile>

If Windows is hard coded to IA32 lookout for a hard code include path to  $(MAKEROOT)/Include/Ia32/ as the Unix makes set that dynamically.


Actually it looks like the lower level Windows tries to do the right thing for X64? 

https://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/Makefiles/ms.common <https://sourceforge.net/p/edk2/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Source/C/Makefiles/ms.common>

!IF "$(ARCH)"=="IA32"
ARCH_INCLUDE = $(SOURCE_PATH)\Include\Ia32
BIN_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win32
LIB_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win32
SYS_BIN_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win32
SYS_LIB_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win32
!ENDIF

!IF "$(ARCH)"=="X64"
ARCH_INCLUDE = $(SOURCE_PATH)\Include\X64
BIN_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win64
LIB_PATH     = $(BASE_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win64
SYS_BIN_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Bin\Win64
SYS_LIB_PATH = $(EDK_TOOLS_PATH)\Lib\Win64
!ENDIF
