Also, I already answered that question.

Then how is msys essentially different than cygwin?

msys-2.0.dll is renamed and patched cygwin1.dll.

What is this msys-2.0.dll? What functions does it supply? How is this
different than cygwin's infamous dll?

MSYS2 is basically Cygwin without the posix-purity stuff going and
instead a laser sharp focus on interoperability between MSYS2 tools
and Windows tools. It is "still Windows" but it uses it's own GCC that
links to (and creates software that links to) msys-2.0.dll that
provides a more posix-like se
If I understand your answer correctly, MSYS(2) is basically just "Windows
with POSIX tools, directory layout and paths", but it is still Windows. If
so, hen why does it need it's own toolchain, and what are "MSYS binaries"?
Wouldn't a regular Windows toolchain with Windows binaries be the same?

I'm sure that there is a good reason to have two very similiar root type
directories such as MinGW and msys, but I can't see it. But, I am new to
MinGW. To me two different pseudo root directories.
Can someone explain why the two are necessary and on would not suffice? Or
