No at all familiar with MinGW, but I've done some "./configure"s in my

./configure scripts 1) check to see what the local build environment

But the pretty much assume a unix-like env. Could you put cygwin on
rather than just mingw?
While I can't speak for PostgreSQL specifically, msys rather than cygwin
is typically used for most autotools-based builds of software on Windows.
Personally I'd recommend that the OP just grab Visual Studio Express
Edition and/or the Windows SDK and compile PostgreSQL that way. See the
instructions here:
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/install-windows-full.html
It's astonishingly easy for a Windows build of any kind, let alone of a
portable autotools-based open source database.
