I've just succesfully configured Emacs trunk with MSYS2 [1]. The
difference from the previous time I built Emacs (last December) was that
autogen.sh complained about missing pkg-config, but

pacman -S pkg-config

fixed the issue.


The build failed with

../../emacs/lib/dup2.c:38:26: fatal error: msvc-inval.h: No such file or 
directory
 #  include "msvc-inval.h"
                          ^
compilation terminated.

but that was probably caused by me using the latest MinGW-w64
(i686-4.9.0-release-win32-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1.7z)
