The original reason why I call MSYS2 unreliable is this hack:

export MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL="-DLOCALEDIR=;-DLIBDIR=;-DLOCALE_ALIAS_PATH="


Seen in
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-gettext/PKGBUILD

A system in which, in a program invocation, the program *by default* receives
different arguments than the ones that the caller passed is unreliable.

Anyone who sees this and https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/1130
should
1. vomit,
2. turn away from MSYS2, and
3. use Cygwin as dev environment instead.
