When you install MSYS2 from msys2.org, you get three possible build
targets, depending on what you set MSYSTEM to:

MSYSTEM=MINGW32
MSYSTEM=MINGW64
MSYSTEM=MSYS

When a buildfarm member identifiers itself as "msys ... 2", then I would
expect the third variant, but that's not what it's doing. A
MSYSTEM=MSYS build is similar to a Cygwin build (since MSYS2 is a fork
of Cygwin), which is also a valid thing to do, but it's obviously quite
different from a mingw build.
