Indeed, there are probably too many options around. Here is what I use:
* Install traditional msys toolchains, conveniently packaged by the
mingw-w64 people; one download, one click as explained here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/MSYS
Note: When you unzip the package into a directory c:/foo, you get
the msys.bat in the directory c:/foo/msys/bin. One directory deeper
than what the wiki says. You can afterward arrange to have
the structure c:/msys/bin (which I have) or leave it like that.
Do not attempt to unpack directly into c: -- Windows won't let you
do that anyway. The rest of the wiki is good.
* GCC from TDM
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
I chose the configuration that generates 64-bit binaries by default.
It conveniently packages several things that are needed for development.
Choose a directory of installation, for example c:/mingw64
Once you have installed GCC-TDM, you are good to go.
If you are build your own packages and you want the compiler
to automatically find its headers (e.g. for gmp.h or gc.h),
use the option --prefix=c:/mingw64. The compiler considers
c:/mingw64/include as a standard include path. If you use your own
directory you will have to specify it every time to the
package which wants it. /usr/local (which
would reside under the msys directory, unless you make a
special arrangement) is not considered a standard path.
Before building ECL from trunk, I installed:
-- GMP 5.0.5 in c:/mingw64
-- Boehm-Wieser GC from CVS trunk
(the one that comes with ECL will refuse to build)
also in c:/mingw64
Please don't forget to specify --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32
as configure option if you install the compiler that generates
64-bit by default.

that should be enough. That is all I had to do. See my
development configuration as detailed above.
