ACE comes in the full version with GNUmakefile-s,
In MSYS you give make -f GNUmakefile
EDIT 1
Though building 64-bit binaries is supported for numerous platforms and compilers, the ACE team did not provide it for MINGW. There is something to do ...
EDIT 2
Following script should do the configuration for 64-bit binaries in MingW-64
#! /bin/bash
#
# Configure ACE/TAO for 32/64 bit build with MINGW64
#
# Precondition:
# This script is located in the parent folder of ACE_Wrappers
# File access permissions in ACE_Wrappers allow editing of files (sed):
# Easyest, delivered full ACE/TAO ZIP was extracted using Windows Explorer.
# When extracting with 7z, it will correctly preserve access rights and
# they need to be granted for the user, explicitly
#
# Postcondition:
# ACE is configured for MINGW build
# Script is involutoric

# This takes effect when building TAO, not ACE
