I don't have any MinGW64/MSYS2 shares ;-) I just wanted to cover the aspect that many precompiled binaries of programs are available from this project. Maybe I put that note somewhere else.
On the subject pointing people to precompiled MS Windows binaries of useful GNU tools, one really easy way for users is to add C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to their PATH (or wherever Git was installed). On MS Windows, Git comes with quite a few of the most-common commands (I think from MSYS2, actually), and I'd imagine that many Emacs users also have Git installed.
I'm not sure this is worth putting in the FAQ, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
