Interestingly enough, I just re-ran the steps I outlined and this time
it matches your output.  As I mentioned to Chuck a while back, running
under MSYS and building out-of-tree, I had to make a minor change to
Makefile.comm.in (patch attached).

Given that Cesar has added a '-mintty' option to msys.bat, I'm going
to take a look at creating a msys-mintty.xml manifest.  I'll fire it
off to this list first before committing it for you or Chuck to give
it the once over though, since I'm still figuring out the semantics of
these files.

Cheers!

Chris
