Well, the wording of the NEWS item "supported out-of-the-box by 
configure", and the fact that MSYS2 is based of a fork of Cygwin, made 
me think that, finally, native Windows binaries of gawk could be built 
with the standard recipe "./configure && make && make check ...".

But no :-(

Thank you. Regards.

PS: Native Windows binaries of Gawkextlib extensions can be built with 
the standard recipe.
