bug#28601: 26.0.50; configure: error: Emacs does not support 'x86_64-pc-msys' systems.

[Vincent Belaïche]

Hello Glenn,

There is no such thing as a mingw64_shell.bat script, but there is a
msys2_shell.cmd script, which one can launch with the -mingw64 for
MSYSTEM to be set accordingly to MSYSTEM=MINGW64.

When I do that, then I get the following error :

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
checking build system type... x86_64-w64-mingw32
checking host system type... x86_64-w64-mingw32
checking the compiler's target... x86_64-pc-msys
configure: error: Emacs does not support 'x86_64-pc-msys' systems.
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--  end -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

BR,
 V.
