 MSYS2 comes with a package management system called {{{pacman}}} adopted from Arch Linux, and allows to easily install binary packages from the commandline. To compile FFmpeg, you need to install the mingw-w64 GCC environment (either in the i686 or x86_x64 flavor). Use one of the commands:

-This installs "gcc.exe" commands that are actually built for MSYS2 but are the windows gcc compilers.
