I tried to port Sage to mingw once, back when it was easier (2006), and failed already at building Python. There was a huge page with hacks to maybe do it back then, but they weren't working. There's a stackoverflow question now about this problem:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15365249/build-python-with-mingw-and-gcc " Python does not build out of the box with MinGW, let alone for Win64." and another suggests this fork of Python 3.4 that's meant to build on mingw: https://bitbucket.org/puqing/python-mingw but there are issues entitled "Build fails on mingw (msys)" down the right side of the screen...
