Testing the MinGW build mostly succeeds, but there are some failures:

     FAIL: test_scripts/formatting_documentlanguage_cmdline.sh
     FAIL: test_scripts/formatting_cpp_lines.sh

     FAIL: test_scripts/layout_formatting_fr.sh
     FAIL: test_scripts/layout_formatting_fr_icons.sh

     FAIL: different_languages_gen_master_menu.sh

All of them seem to be caused by the same problem with memory
allocation, the log/output files all have an error message like this:

  Free to wrong pool 132cd60 not 8d019700 at ./..//perl/texi2any.pl line 2154.

This means memory allocated via Perl is freed by a direct call to
'free', or the other way around: memory allocated by a direct call to
malloc is freed via Perl.

All of the error messages point to the same line 2154 in texi2any.pl.

Let me know if I can provide more information to help debug this.

All the other tests in all the other directories all succeed.
