It is indeed an msys2 system. However, when we set MSYSTEM=MINGW64 as
we do in fairywren's config environment so that the compiler it is
properly detected by configure (using Msys2's /etc/config.site)
'uname -a' reports MINGW64... instead of MSYS...

This is a bit confusing.

The compiler currently being used on the animal is the gcc 7.3.0 from
the Mingw64 project, the same one that's being usied on jacana (which
runs Msys1). Notwithstanding the "mingw32" in the compiler name, these
are 64 bit builds. I think the "32" there is somewhat vestigial.

Since I downgraded the compiler from gcc 9.0 about a week ago these
errors seem to have stopped.
