No.

Here's the patches applied to msys's make-3.81

make/01-make-3.81-2-cygwin.patch       -- from cygwin's 3.81-2 package
make/02-make-3.81-dos-path.patch
make/03-make-3.81-case_preserve.patch
make/04-make-3.81-msys.patch

I've archives all the patches I used when I last built the msys apps -- 
it's over 1MB after xz compression.  I'll figure out somewhere to put it 
and post the link later today.

Here's the file listing -- 151 different patches to 56 different 
products. Some were unofficial, since I never actually published my 
msys-tcl port.

This also misses the changes to the build configurations (e.g. msys 
builds foo with --disable-bar, while cygwin uses --enable-bar, etc).
