This would make MinGW in all aspects identical to a native window build, wouldn't it? Seems dangerous.
When I follow the instructions what I've published in parrot/README.win32, the builded perl program gives : $ perl -e "print $^O" MSWin32
For me, mingw is not a platform (MSWin32 and cygwin are a platform), just the GCC compiler under MSWin32.
$mingw = ($^O eq 'MSWin32' and $Config{cc} eq 'gcc')
So, the case $is_mingw in config/init/hints/mswin32.pl is the good way to handle this compiler.

Thanks for the detailed report,
It would be great if folks with windows installed could have a look at these issues.
