Hi Mario,
I'd say, prefer the mingw variant, but this is a delicate recommendation. I
haven't tried to build Qt5 myself since the script exists, so I'm not able
to give you any info.
I do know that Qt configure generates MSYS makefiles so you'll need MSYS
make, not mingw32-make to actually build it.
