Yes, I was already looking into it.
The first problem was that newer mingw packages are distributed in lzma
compression. Our build scripts don't install lzma tools to extract these. It
turns out that MSys itself ships lzma starting from version 1.0.11. The build
server had 1.0.10. I have updated that now.
I'm hitting a problem now while building autotools, but from the errors it
seems to be a problem of mingw not properly installed. I'm short on time right
now, but will look at it further later on.
