AFAIU, that's not a native Windows port, that's an MSYS2 port, which
is almost the same as a Cygwin build (MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin).

IOW, you cannot link the MSYS2 libguile with a native MinGW program,
such as GDB or Gnu Make (or Lilypond, or any other application
mentioned in this thread).  Right?
