Thank you Emmanuele,
That is the first time I've heard that MinGW binaries (gcc) and the MSVC build chain are incompatible. It would explain why I have non-functional behaviour in my application.
This article on the MinGW website indicated that there was interoperability: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSVC_and_MinGW_DLLs

That's not what MSYS2 is for. MSYS2 is a Unix-like environment on
Windows, and using MSVC is not compatible with that, especially for
things like debugging symbols.
You either want to build everything with MSVC, or you build everything
with MSYS2.
Ciao,
Emmanuele.
