Hi,
building latest Rakudo using latest Parrot fails on Windows XP with an
error, refer to CmdLog.txt for an error log. I use MinGW 4.4 to compile,
however I did not try to compile it in a MSYS environment even though
the paths might suggest this.
I also attached a parrot_config dump as suggested by jnthn.

parrot's Configure.pl mishandles win32 backslashes in --prefix=prefix
when --get-parrot is used. I have included a simple patch to fix that.
