@Oscar: specifying the full path to g++ did not help, but even complicated things... though these complications turned out to be the key for finding the solution on the web...
@Jeremy: you were right in assuming that problems with (the windows environment variable named) PATH caused the 0xC000007B error message. Yet, even after having fixed the problems with PATH, DependencyWalker64 kept on complaining... the cure was to add -static at the end of the linker command specified in geany. The exe is even portable now; at least, it runs on 3 other x64 systems without MSYS2 or pure MINGW installed... of course, statically linking all functions made the file size of the exe grow from 385kB to about 2.9MB.
