I'll try it but the CAST_PTR() seems to be working
in both 32 and 64-bit. BUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE
should be defined by the autoconf machinery if needed.

So, because of boolean logic:
A v (!A ^ !B) = A v !B
something like below would work:

#if defined(WIN32) || !defined(__GNUC__)
...
#endif

around finalize_global_cs().
