Yes, I was researching yesterday and it turns out I was wrong. The content of http://mingw.org/wiki/MSYS states that MSYS is _not_ the subsystem, as I erroneously assumed it was. I thought MinGW
was a collection of compilers which targeted the MSYS runtime. The content of http://mingw.org/wiki/MinGW claims that its compilers target the Microsoft runtimes.Having said that, learning this just makes me _more_ confused. Now I wonder if perhaps the mingw-gcc outputs are somehow not using the Microsoft runtimes "correctly", leading to some kind of initialization delay. [yes, I know this has really digressed into a MinGW discussion, and for that I am sorry]
I want very much to use Microsoft's compilers to build Emacs, in order to find out what's wrong. However, for right now I don't have the intellectual bandwidth to chase that. Sorry for the confusion, -- /v\atthew
