Yes, at the moment. There is no such thing as 'MinGW' 
environment. There is a MSYS environment, which at one
stage I tried to support. With MSYS you have Windows tools
and shell environment PLUS a couple of tools like mingw version
of gcc, ld etc.

So 'in theory' the Windows build with the gcc toolchain selected 
should work: this is mainly 'use Windows filenames with gcc
compiler'.

Of course config/config.py is found under Cygwin but not
MSYS because MSYS is CMD.EXE: you have to use Windows
filenames like config\config.py

Something like that anyhow. Mumble .. there's a way to 
select the compiler in the config step, something like

        --hostcxx=gcc

should work.
