Depends on what you mean by that (and what you mean when you say
"MSYS").  In general, quite a few useful programs don't have native
Windows ports in MSYS2 repository, so you will get MSYS ports instead,
and that will cause subtle problems, similar to what happens when one
mixes Cygwin programs with a native w32 Emacs.
