Is there an sh.exe somewhere on your system, particularly in the  
PATH?  If so, it will cause havoc; change the PATH or move it out of  
the way.  This can happen if you have Cygwin or MSYS installed.  It  
can potentially affect you with other similar Unix emulation  
environments, too.

I just retested the MinGW build on a system that has never seen MinGW  
(or Cygwin or MSYS, for that matter) and it builds fine.

Only with MinGW. ;)

You'll find the sailing is smoother with either VC++ Express or Linux,  
both of which are free, to varying degrees.
