Does that C:/msys64 prefix contain both the 32-bit MinGW-w64/MSYS2 and
64-bit MinGW-w64/MSYS2 that can be installed with the MSYS2 pacman
installer? And assuming the answer is yes, is there a different
extension to that prefix for the 32-bit case versus the 64-bit case,
and is 32-bit and 64-bit MinGW-w64/MSYS2 _all_ that the overall
C:/msys64 prefix contains?
C:/msys64 is "mounted" (ala msys-2.0.dll) as "/" and so it also contains
/usr, /lib, /etc for the bash/posix "msys". It is also host to the .bat
files that initiate
the bash shell.

The directory links, opt32 and op64, shown above are NTFS directory links
which
Linux can't negotiate. The other directory link, usrbin, is an NTFS
junction, which behaves much more like a simple directory in windows.
opt32 and opt64 hold a repository of my libraries, augmenting the standard
collections in /mingw32/ or /mingw64/:
greg@linux-gc09:/c/msys64> ls /d/mingw/opt32-psxdw2/
bin cmake include lib share testfile.x
The three .bat files are nearly identical except for the MSYSTEM setting
which will be used in /etc/profile to set up the environment:
greg@linux-gc09:/home/bld/gdl> diff /c/msys64/msys2_shell.bat
/c/msys64/mingw32_shell.bat
25c25
< set MSYSTEM=MSYS
---
> set MSYSTEM=MINGW32
27c27
< set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict
---
> rem set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict
44c44
< start console -t "MSys2" -r "%*"
---
> start console -t "MinGW" -r "%*"
Please clarify the various shells and their sources. For example,
could you confirm that the cygwin shell comes from your Cygwin platform
installation, and the mingw.org/msys-1 shell from your MinGW/MSYS
installation?
There are similar bat scripts that start up cygwin64, in the cygwin
location,
and for msys-1 (mingw.org) in its location. Each of these is executed from
a desktop link associated with a command shell, or via an entry in the
"start menu".
I don't think cygwin1.dll has anything to do with MSYS2. So I assume

That last line concerns me since the primary motivation for these
comprehensive tests is to help other Cygwin, MinGW/MSYS, and
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 users with PLplot. So you should establish the firm
The biggest messes are usually coming from the underlying windows system,
I've had troubles because the env variables "SHELL" and "PATH_SEPARATOR"
have been set by installations without my knowledge, blocking proper
operation.

they are the same. I.e. start with MSYS shell (like a cygwin shell) then
add
the compiler tree, with accompanied libs, to the front of the $PATH. And
adjust other variables (CFLAGS, LDFLAGS) accordingly.

Mine happens to be 64-bit but there is a 32-bit version, which it may as
well have been - its an irrelevant detail because plplot will not be built
for msys, but for MingW.
shell #2 can also host a Mingw-w64: in fact mine is one. and shell#2 can
also be
configured to host an x86_64- compiler version. MSYS2 can also be set up
to operate the mingw of shell#2.
Although you can call it a different shell, MINGW32 or MINGW64 is
identical to MSYS2 with one extra directory inserted into the path.
