Thanks for those reasonable changes.
One unrelated comment to the porting make part below.

mingw32-make
------------
MSYS2 provides two versions of make, one in the `make` package and one in the `mingw-w64-{i686,x86_64}-make` packages. The latter one is called `mingw32-make` on command line, is fully native and doesn't depend on `msys2` shells. The downside is that it doesn't work with many `Makefile`s. Unless you know what you're doing, use the regular `make`.

Does this need any adjustment? If not then maybe we should keep mingw32-make only as a compatibility name "symlink" and rename it.

I'm not aware of any improvements in mingw32-make's compatibility.
