You forgot at least one additional important gcc flavour factor: note the link you gave was a mingw-w64 one. That is quite different from MinGW (separate developers, separate download area, etc., etc.). So when you say you are doing experiments on MinGW/MSYS are you actually referring to that or the entirely separate project MinGW-w64/MSYS2? Arjen and I are referring exactly to MinGW/MSYS. The separate project MinGW-w64/MSYS2 is a platform that is well worth trying, but that has not been done yet (as far as I know) so I would not be surprised if there were PLplot build-system issues to solve for that platform.
