No, I don't think the build will fail. --prefix is only important for
"make install".

I don't know, I never tried such a strange arrangement with the Posix
build. Why don't you simply run Emacs from src instead? That is how
Emacs is supposed to be run uninstalled. Otherwise, you will be
copying a lot of files for no good reason.
And anyway, how is running from trunk/bin related to --prefix?

I don't know; I don't use mingw-get. Perhaps uninstall the Texinfo
package after installing msys-base (assuming mingw-get has an
uninstall option that can uninstall a single package)? If that
doesn't work, I suggest to ask on the mingw-users mailing list, the
developer of mingw-get is reading that.
