New issue 18476 by [email protected]: mingw install instructions fail  
on Vista64.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18476

msys has a known issues on vista. They affect the initial launching of
msys, which opens about 50 windows, and the ./configure which segfaults.
The fix is applied in the msyscore installer and post install script.

instead of using msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz
use MSYS-1.0.11.exe

On this page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
go down to MSYS Base System and open that up.
the open Current Release_MSYS-1.0.11
and click MSYS-1.0.11.exe
direct link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20
Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download
I let it install in the default location c:\msys\1.0\
