This is a known issue with the MSYS Bash.  That shell is not supported
by the Windows build of Emacs, for this very reason, see nt/INSTALL.

Just remove MSYS from your PATH, and you should be able to build EMacs
just fine.  You don't need a Unixy shell.

I'm closing this bug report.

Thanks for reporting and digging into this.
