My builds currently don't work on Windows XP. However I'm afraid this has nothing to do with MSYS2.
Good news: I actually just confirmed that MSYS2 is not the problem! I was able to build Inkscape 0.92.x r15394 with MSYS2 and the build is working nicely on Windows XP. This proves, that there's a compatibility issue in gtk3 or one of its dependecies that prevents Inkscape trunk to work on Windows XP (the 0.92.x build uses gtk2 if you're wondering). If you want to try the build yourself you can download it at [1].
As I said before: I do not currently plan to use MSYS2 for builds of 0.92.x. However if people think the updated library versions are something we would want in Windows builds of the stable branch (especially the 32-bit devlibs are quite dated and have some known issues) this test shows that it would certainly be possible. If there's demand for it let me know, as we should start testing early to rule out any regressions.
