What bugs me is that the mingw executables are built in utils/mingw,

Not easily.
This behaviour can be turned off by not using the 'subdir-objects' automake
option.
But then automake warns that option is disabled (since it's going to be the
default in future).
So why not just move the mingw source files to utils/mingw, too?
There's probably some scope for doing that, but not in all cases, as
some files are built multiple times with different compilers and/or flags.
e.g. path.cc is built with a cygwin compiler and -DFSTAB as part of
mount, with a MinGW compiler as part of cygcheck, and with a MinGW
compiler and -DTESTSUITE as part of path-testsuite.
