Really slow. Painfully so.

That's not completely true. You can install MSys independently from
Mingw32, as the Mingw64 web pages suggest. MSys provides the usual
niceties that you enumerated.
You'd run into a problem, however, if you didn't specify CC and CXX for
configure and make because gcc and g++ would be missing.
That's how my current development environment is configured --
"CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -m32" for 32-bit compiles.
YMMV.
