I suspect that chocolatey installs a Win32 port that is not intended to be used 
from within an MSYS2 environment, potentially resulting in issues with pathname 
translation. If you wish to build for MSYS2 specifically, I would suggest 
getting rid of "Git for Windows" and installing MSYS2 directly from 
https://www.msys2.org/ instead. With the aid of its pacman utility, you will be 
able to install all of the prequisites for building bash. Indeed, it offers a 
base-devel package group that covers a number of packages commonly required for 
development. It can be installed by issuing the following command.

pacman -S --needed base-devel

Of course, you may use it to install git as well.

Another option would be to use a Linux distribution through WSL (Windows 
Subsystem for Linux).
