You have to tell us: none of us (Eli or me, anyway) have a mingw/msys
system.  Personally I don't have a system that runs Windows.

To be clear: the non-POSIX ports of GNU make are 100% volunteer driven.
None of the official maintainers have any Windows systems: we can't even
run the regression tests on those ports ourselves.  We rely completely
on folks on the mailing lists to do all the development, support, and
maintenance of these ports.


So, we cannot take the files and run them, except on POSIX systems,
which seems like it would not be helpful for mingw/msys-specific
errors.
