The compiler does not depend on MSYS, which acts as a POSIX
compatibility layer. MinGW(-w64) compiler, linker, etc don't know about
those fictional paths that MSYS creates. The point of MSYS is to provide
an environment for running sotfware that hasn't been ported to Windows
and requires a POSIX environment, such as configure scripts.
