Ok so the first problem is to compile clang compiler with current
msys/mingw
provided by GNUstep installer(0.24.0).
I tried and I get the following error about symboloc link :

llvm[4]: Creating Release Alias clang++ (without symbols)
ln: creating symbolic link
`/home/Vincent/llvm/obj/Release/bin/clang++.exe' t
o `clang.exe': No such file or directory

When looking at bin directory I do have a clang.exe binary and I have ln.
I also tried to create it manually and ir works...

So the first task is to understand why it doesn't work with your
msys/mingw.
