Notice that MSYS/MinGW is not a supported build platform so most
probably the sources won't even build out of the box. You may find
some discussions in the mailing list archives around building under
MSYS/MinGW (instead of building under Cygwin which is the default
build environment for Windows). But that's just about "building". I'm
not aware of anyone who ever built OpenJDK for MSYS/MinGW (i.e. using
GCC and targeting MSYS).
