good.
I usually run
$>./build.sh --parallel --jit  --mingw64  &> out-mingw64

and then
$> tail out-mingw64

Anyway, you should always check out-mingw64 for strange warnings/errors.

Can you also check if luajittex build is ok?

--parallel means (look into build.sh)
JOBS_IF_PARALLEL=${JOBS_IF_PARALLEL:-3}
MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL=${MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL:-2}

but on my quad-core with hyperthreading I set
JOBS_IF_PARALLEL=${JOBS_IF_PARALLEL:-16}
MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL=${MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL:-16}

(and yes, it can freeze my box ).
