Version 0.20.1 is the one to look at. There have been many Windows-specific
fixes between 0.19.8.1 and 0.20.1; I won't explain them here one-by-one.

Read the INSTALL.windows file. You will see that the MSYS2 build environment
is not supported. Choose one of the supported ones.
Note also that Michele Locati provides precompiled binaries of GNU gettext
