Next Lazarus release will be built with it. That's probably 1.2.2.

AFAIK the bug was fixed, so you are free to program 64bit with
fpc 2.6.4 under Windows 8.
Note: The IDE can be compiled with 32bit and you can build 64bit
programs with a 32bit IDE. The 32bit IDE is somewhat faster due to less
memory consumption.
