I build CLISP on w2k using mingw like this:

$ ./configure --with-mingw --build build-O-mingw

(add "--with-module=..." to your desire).
works OOTB.
you can also download the binary I built this way from SF.

(I have never used msys/MinGW, the above is with cygwin.
the binary is cygwin-independent though)

I am sorry, I am afraid I do not understand what you are doing here.
