I have no experience with MSVC and it's too heavy on computer. I mean it takes up so much space. I have a small SSD but my computer is capable enough to build Pale Moon from source on Linux with just about 45 mins. Now I'm on Windows and I use MSYS2 because of the familiar shell I used to work with on Linux. I wanted to know if I could build your NM browsers on MSYS2.
I know MSYS2 is Windows 7+ only but the binary generated by it seems has no problems running on older versions of Windows, given you don't use the UCRT64 target and only use MSVCRT target. I have mutiples small SSDs (120G each), which I give to Linux, Windows 7 and Windows XP respectively. My system is a triple boot system. I think building NM myself on my own computer I could gain more performance. I want to try.
Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

By MSYS2 I really mean MinGW. It seems Mozilla Build is already using MSYS2. I wanted to build NM using MinGW's GCC.

not really tried at the moment, feodor2 gave some hints about it.
