Please show the exact steps for replicating the problem, including the
method you use to start the MSYS2 shell.

On the shell you use for the build, if you type the command

which gcc.exe

what's the output?

Configure scripts are usually made of standardized, off-the-shelf
components and should detect that you are using the MinGW-w64 toolset
and behave in accordance, but the part that puts absolute file paths on
the generated __pch.h header possibly is project-specific and might be
problematic unless it was written with portability in mind.

Does the build work on the classic MSYS environment? Are there reports
of it working on Windows at all?
