It is included in MSYS2 as current versions dont seem to have this problem
at all. Which is just another reason why *IF* anything is going to be
mentioned/recommended then it should be MSYS2 and not MSYS/MinGW setups.
Although this may be a good example of why it could be useful to make it
clear somewhere that MSYS2 is the recommended setup to help avoid these
issues that way.
