In his Wiki (http://wiki.kn.vutbr.cz/mj/index.cgi?Build%20Parrot%20with%20MinGW), Michal Juroz lists 3 ways for building Parrot : 1) Build Parrot with MinGW, MSYS and MSYS-DTK 2) Build Parrot with MinGW and ActiveState Perl 3) Build Parrot with MinGW-Perl (Build Perl with MinGW first)
Aha. That explains the various troubles, people were talking about different MinGW builds.
Additionally, to further complicate matters, it's also possible to create MingGW builds using cygwin (by adding --host=i386-pc-mingw32 --build=i386-pc-mingw32 -mno-cygwin mms-bitfields). I'm pretty sure that this could be used as an alternative to 1) and 3), but don't have any experience with 2).
