I build luatex under windows for quite some time, but so far it never
happened, that the installer provided by mingw + msys just worked :)
Most of problems I found was related to make (ie. in previous versions
both mingw and msys provided make version 3.81, both printed exactly the
same version message, but in fact they worked _completely_ different).
But once I finally found the proper one, it was enough to hit
sh build.sh
sh build.sh --make
(plus strip ...\luatex.exe at the end) Personally I've learned to
dislike shells provided by msys as they to some magic I don't understand
(simulates fstab mounting etc.).
Thanks for this link, it looks promising (at least it takes care about
basic utils and installs a fresh GCC version).
