I have some doubts: I am using mingw-w64 compiler to compile bash in
msys2 environment. It may not be possible. But I wanted to know
something else. I got a warning:
./include/filecntl.h:33:33: warning: implicit declaration of

untarred and unzipped it in my user directory in MSYS2. Then I used
MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shell provided by MSYS2.

then did make, but it gave me some err
