When I tried to build MinGW the only way I could make it work was using an "identity mount", I don't know why that's necessary. The whole experience of trying to build MinGW was extremely annoying and painful. Quoting from http://mingw-users.1079350.n2.nabble.com/How-to-build-GCC-on-MinGW-MSYS-td5868612.html: These days, I make a point of building GCC in "identity" mounts, where the Unixy path ("/mingw") directly corresponds to the underlying Windows path ("C:\mingw"). This shouldn't be strictly necessary, but I suspect there are some gotchas that can be avoided that way. To change your /mingw to an identity mount, move E:\Temp\mingw\msys\1.0\mingw to E:\mingw, and edit your E:\Temp\mingw\msys\1.0\etc\fstab accordingly.
