I suggest to post this to the MinGW mailing list first, as what you describe sounds like MinGW issues not directly related to building Emacs. If they say that this is "as designed", then we will see about adding something to nt/INSTALL to work around this. FWIW, the 2nd issue sounds to me like an installation mistake of some kind (did you install MinGW inside the MSYS tree, by chance?). But I'm not an expert; all I know is that on my system, the MSYS Bash window has PATH set to whatever my system-wide PATH is, with these directories prepended: .:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin: IOW, no msys/1.0/mingw/ anywhere in sight.
