I am trying to build grep for windows on MSYS2.

here are the packages which i had installed (development and end user packages) :
```
$ pacman -Q 'libiconv' 'libintl' 'libpcre' 'sh' 'texinfo' 'gettext-devel' 'libiconv-devel' 'pcre-devel' 'autotools' 'gcc' 'automake' 'gettext' 'git' 'gperf' 'gzip' 'help2man' 'm4' 'make' 'pkg-config' 'tar' 'wget' 'xz'
libiconv 1.17-1
libintl 0.22-1
libpcre 8.45-3
bash 5.2.015-1
texinfo 7.0.3-3
gettext-devel 0.22-1
libiconv-devel 1.17-1
pcre-devel 8.45-3

Try './configure --disable-gcc-warnings', since you're getting false alarms.
