What does this mean, exactly?  IOW, how did you add this directory to
exec-path, and why did you need to do it?

First, "/mingw64/bin" is not a valid Windows absolute file name, since
it lacks the drive letter.

And second, Emacs's startup code expects the directories where Emacs
should look for programs to be mentioned in the system-wide PATH
variable.  If your PATH doesn't include /mingw64/bin, then you should
add it (assuming that there are program files there that Emacs is
supposed to find and use).

Is this specific to the native-comp branch, or does it also happen if
you build and install the master branch?
