With cmd.exe, there's no guarantee that 'tail' will be present.
In the end, I've just gone with a C file that prints out __MINGW64_VERSION_STR (or prints "undef" if __MINGW64_VERSION_STR is not defined). And then the one-line command I've used is CC -o rt.exe rt.c 1>nul 2>&1 && rt It would have been nice to avoid compiling a C source file into an executable ... but the alternatives were beginning to look next to impossible (or worse ;-) Thanks Gisle, Stephen, for presenting the other options.
