And if the tar command is executed, then I assume the sha1sum that is
computed must match the one in the qrupdate.mk file, so presumably the file
is not corrupted...

My assumption as well - and I deleted the file and redownloaded a couple of
times just for the kick of it.
When you installed mingw, do you recall what packages/options you installed?
Ming32 or 64?

I believe I installed mingw32 with the C,C++ and fortran compiler, as well
as MSYS basic, after selecting the option to download the latest updated
lists. (I ran the update and upgrade later to verify)

I also installed the following packages afterwards to meet dependencies/fix
issues with compiling:

msys-wget
msys-unzip
msys-m4
msys-openssl
msys-patch
msys-perl
msys-regex
msys-flex
gettext   (for bison to compile)
libiconv (for libiconv to compile)
