I would have expected something different from 'uname -m'.  But I know
nothing about MSYS.

Do the compilation messages echoed by 'make' omit the -march=native
flag you supplied?

If not, can you compile a small test binary with -march=nature and -S
that should contain, say, SSE instructions and observe them in the
output assembly.

If so, then I'd dig into the reason behind the weird 'uname -m' output.
