Then you use the compiler that comes from the MinGW web site (it
understands C:/ style paths only) and the shell and runtime from
there (it translates /C/ paths on the command line to C:/ style)
and you use CPPFLAGS=-IC:/... and the like.  All consistent.

Of course you wouldn't use a clisp compiled for MSYS/MinGW on Cygwin,
or vice versa.  Just treat both systems as "very different", requiring
something like cross compilation, and things will look less surprising.
