Oh OK, maybe keep it? Could you patch the RSB and see if it works?
I removed the GDB from the build set.
I am pretty sure it would work with a patched windows.py.
Which patch?
I am a bit lost, I thought the RSB crashed on your Windows box.
It is currently busy building the 5/rtems-sparc build set (without
GDB) in a mingw64 shell. Is a build in the msys shell something
useful/supported?
Yes, we have valid users. Plus building on Windows is valid for the
same reasons we build from source on all hosts maybe more so.
If I install msys/mingw I get an msys, mingw32 and mingw64 shell. They
are all somewhat different. Are all of them supposed to be supported?
They are different in a subtle way, they set different paths so you get
a different set of native executables and DLLs in your path. Run:
`set | grep ^PATH`
in each instance and compare. On top of that the mingw native tools are
specifically named, something I completely agree with.
MSYS2 is well thought out, the pacmac tools is great. Like cygwin a
rolling release makes baselining for deployment or a product hard.
There is also this:

Yes this is a good alternative for those who understand Linux or Unix
and have to run Windows. I have not used it so I do not know how it
integrate with the native Windows editors, build system or related
tools, i.e. paths, error messages from compilers etc.
