That is not a bug.  MSYS in its "charter" explicitly says it does not 
want to become a new cygwin.  The tools in msys are available only for 
support of the compiler tool chain. The main goal is to build native 
windows applications with the mingw tool chain.  If you want posix 
applications you should be using cygwin.
