You don't need MSYS, just MinGW.
The Makefile's produced by nt/configure.bat will run both with and
without a Unixy shell. And in any case, there's no need to invoke
configure.bat from a Unixy shell, since it's a batch file. (In fact,
some ports of sh.exe will not be able to run batch files at all.)

Your GCC installation is broken or incomplete.

I understand that you were in a hurry and mildly annoyed, and in that
condition too complex installation instructions may cause a lot of
grief. But please look closer at nt/INSTALL: the ``complex mix'' is
described at the beginning, and after that you have sections labeled
"Confoguring", "Building", and "Installing" that describe the way to
build and install Emacs.

nt/INSTALL assumes that you already have a working development
environment, and so it doesn't tell how to set up such an environment.
I don't object to adding such info (probably near the end, so that it
stays out of the way of the impatient ;-), but please understand that
you were trying to climb a very steep learning curve, hoping you will
be able to do that in about 5 seconds. It's just not so easy on
Windows.
