There are specific requirements: from the CHANGES file 2.4.0: mingw-runtime >= 3.10 is required to build R (a bug fix in the handling of MBCS code is required). This is enforced by a check in building Rpwd.exe. 2.5.0-to-be: mingw-runtime >= 3.11 is needed to build R. [There are multiple reasons, but one is that isblank is missing in earlier versions.] I am almost certain that I have build R 2.4.1 with mingw-runtime 3.10. -- Brian D.
