I have (Although you probably couldn't define me as a MinGW person!).
I've been Building under MinGW/MSYS.

I couldn't get the 3.4 branch to build without getting far to involved in the 
errors being produced.
So I tried 3.5 - All I needed to do to get that to build was change the 
maximum command line length setting variable in the libtool script within the 
mingw32/libjava directory. 

I've put it down to something probably stupidly low (2048) which forced 
libtool into incremental linking.

I'm incredibly impressed with the whole lot. I really didn't expect the whole 
GCJ environment to work as well as it has under Win32 when I suggested it as 
a technological solution to a problem we had.... 

Everyone involved has done me proud!

Simon.,
