Thanks Gavin, your last change fixed it.  Before going back and trying
Eli's suggestion, I'm still facing 2 issues:

1. When I do 'info dir' with my build, I see:

   Next: vdir invocation,  Prev: ls invocation,  Up: Directory listing

   10.2 `dirï: Briefly list directory contents
   ===========================================

   `dirï is equivalent to `ls -C -bï; that is, by default files are listed
   in columns, sorted vertically, and special characters are represented by
   backslash escape sequences.

      *Note `lsï: ls invocation.

With the info shipped with Msys2, I get:

   Next: vdir invocation,  Prev: ls invocation,  Up: Directory listing

   10.2 ‘dir’: Briefly list directory contents
   ===========================================

   ‘dir’ is equivalent to ‘ls -C -b’; that is, by default files are listed
   in columns, sorted vertically, and special characters are represented by
   backslash escape sequences.

      *Note ‘ls’: ls invocation.

Note that the ' is turned into a ï.  This is the snapshot of it:

I admit I omitted '--without-libiconv-prefix --without-libintl-prefix'
in ./configure here, but Msys2 uses them[1]

2. Somewhere near the end of the make run, I see:

   Locale 'English_United States.1252' may not work well.
   The following characters (and maybe others) may not have the same meaning as 
the Perl program expects:
   \t

I'm inside bash and locale returns:

   LANG=en_US.UTF-8
   LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
   LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
   LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_ALL=

So why the above?

Best, Arash
