Sure enough, built with nls enabled:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 Chris Administrators 1243136 Dec  7 13:32 mingw32-make.exe

and without:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 Chris Administrators 195584 Dec  7 13:41 mingw32-make.exe

I guess the question is ultimately, do we go with functionality or
size.  It looks like gcc and company were compiled with nls enabled,
so do we remain consistent with it?
