Don't know. It has always Just Worked for me...

At work I use an *old* version of mingw, hand-installed, but I set up a VM at 
home with the then-current mingw about 3 weeks ago and everything was fine. If 
you can hang on 'til later, I'll send some details of what I installed in that 
setup, and see.

Or Albrecht may have ideas - I thik he uses the "current" mingw more than I do.

You can run the mingw tools from a DOS batch script, and that pretty much Just 
Works once you have the paths set up OK for the batch script environment - or 
you can have your DOS shell invoke "/whatever/Msys/path/sh.exe some-script.sh" 
(note: is it still sh.exe or did they swith to another sh version? Can't 
remember now...) and run the build in a "posix" enviroment from there.

I guess that might allow the linux script to be re-used for the mingw build? 
(If mingw works at all of course!)

Any use?
