The compiler, assembler, and linker are not part of MSYS, nor is
'make'.  These are all MinGW tools.  So yes, it's entirely possible to
avoid MSYS completely if you have an existing makefile.  You seem to be
conflating MinGW and MSYS but they really are separate things.  You only
need MSYS if you need to run POSIX 'configure' scripts, or otherwise
need a bourne shell and related tools.

99% of problems with MSYS are due to crapware on the system like that
infernal Logitech process monitor, and are completely out of control of
the project.
