Correct. Last time I checked msys's perl was an utterly outdated 
version, nobody with a sane mind would want to use for anything
(10 years or so old and long having been discontinued and abandoned).

Ca. 10 years+ old - could be the version I had in mind above.

The RTEMS packages _must_ be accessed and invoked without drive letters. 
No idea how to achieve this under MinGW - except for occasionally 
exercising rudimentary testing of the MinGW packages, I do not use MinGW 
and Windows.
