Building on Msys2

The NEWS file of gawk-5.1.0 says:

"5. MSYS2 is now supported out-of-the-box by configure."

After setting-up a MSYS2 + MinGW32 + MinGW64 environment, the first attempt to build gawk-5.0.1 fails. The usual recipe:

./configure && make && ...

causes './configure' to run ok, but 'make' chokes on the MinGW lack of support for 'langinfo' or 'socket'.

Is it necessary to install extra Msys/MinGW packages?

Is it necessary to use the /pc replacement stuff?

The weird thing is that 'configure' generates a 'config.h' file that clearly flags the unavailability of 'langinfo' or 'socket', among others. But 'make' attempts to use them anyway.

Has anybody successfully built gawk-5.1.0 on MSYS2? How?

Thanks in advance.
