 From the error message and the above command-line it appears that at
least one of your .obj files was compiled for the 32-bit architecture,
but you're trying to link it into a 64-bit Com.dll.

I would start by running a 'make rebuild' command from the top of Base,
which should clean out the old .obj files and recompile them for x64. If
the same problem happens again, you must have done something strange in
base/configure files (or in your $(HOME)/configure directory). In that
case, please find and post the make output showing the compilation of
the bucketLib.obj file, and describe what changes you've made to the
base/configure/os/*windows-x64* files.
