x86_64-windows-gnu: MSYS2 MinGW supported?

[fleimgruber]

I tried CMAKE_GENERATOR="Ninja" ./build x86_64-windows-gnu native on a MSYS2 MinGW64 shell and got the error below. I also tried export LDFLAGS=-fstack-protector as it was mentioned a few times in connection with the __stack_chk_guard error below. Is this way of building the compiler even supported or supposed to work?

As it happens, this was fixed 2 days before this issue was opened: ziglang/zig@a0a2e757730

Thanks for the heads-up! Did not try with the next zig source update back then, because I switched to using scoop for managing Zig installations on Windows.
