in thread Defining an XS symbol in the Makefile.PL

Considering that your Inline::C test is hanging just after producing a cmd.exe startup banner and prompt, I would file this whole mess under the category of "Windows": evidently make is starting a shell to run a command but the shell is waiting for input (probably from NUL:) instead of running the intended command.

    To me, it just illustrates that one shouldn't execute a native windows perl.exe inside an MSYS2 bash shell.
    That it failed to run to completion in that shell is not worthy of any concern.

    Cheers,
