This is a bug in the bundle, IMO.

I don't know what "official" means here and what "it" is. There are
instructions for both mingw and cygwin in the main directory, but I
never followed them because I use autotools for both mingw and cygwin
and cross-compile for mingw using cygwin tools. Everything works OOTB
for cygwin and almost OOTB for mingw, as I only need to slightly tweak
intl/Makefile after configuring, due to some missing sublanguage codes
in mingw (SUBLANG_BENGALI_BANGLADESH, SUBLANG_PUNJABI_PAKISTAN, and
SUBLANG_ROMANIAN_MOLDOVA, specifically).
And you are right, this is no problem at all.

Everything is artificial.
