After fiddling a bit with the MinGW paths (I also have Cygwin installed), I
got a clean build with MinGW, which is great: thanks again, Ben, for the
pointer. As for the BCC warnings, the list is large, so I'm including it
here in as an attachment. However, to summarize, here are a few sample
lines from the output (again, the addition of a function prototype earlier
in the file got rid of this warning, but it's not there when I build with
MinGW at all):

Warning W8065 .\regexp_nfa.c 2625: Call to function 'nfa_max_width' with no
prototype in function nfa_max_width

Warning W8066 .\regexp_nfa.c 2814: Unreachable code in function
nfa_max_width

Also, there are about 100 of these (on steadily increasing line numbers):

Warning W8060 if_python.c 772: Possibly incorrect assignment in function
py_memsave

These seem rather suspicious:

Warning W8053 .\os_win32.c 2681: '_chmod(const signed char *,int,...)' is
obsolete in function mch_setperm
Warning W8070 .\os_win32.c 3614: Function should return a value in function
sub_process_writer

There are no actual errors, just a bunch of warnings. The final build,
however, corrupts every file it touches absolutely.

This is no longer pressing for me, personally, but I do feel that we should
either renege on support for BCC or fix it. It would help if we knew if
anybody still uses BCC...
