It seems that the msys2 .profile has `export LANG=$(locale -uU)`, and that returns en_US.UTF-8 for me.

It is indeed #define PATH_EXEC "%emacs_dir%/libexec/emacs/30.0.50/x86_64-w64-mingw32"
src/
epaths.in has #define PATH_EXEC "/usr/local/libexec/emacs"
I had been running configure and make in a subdirectory. If I run them in the top-level directory,
then it does update PATH_EXEC to the correct version. I think I made the wrong assumption that
running configure in a subdirectory would leave the main source clean.
Thank you for your help debugging this!

exec/configure.ac is not used in the MinGW build (but the above is a
bug nonetheless, so I will fix it shortly).
I cannot reproduce this result:

Please look at src/epaths.h and see how PATH_EXEC is defined there.

As expected: the MinGW build doesn't use that file. You should
regenerate or update src/epaths.h. Perhaps touch src/epaths.in and
then re-run "make" in the top-level directory of the source tree.
