No. You need a (simple) bash style shell.
There is one provided along with the MinGW system, called MSYS, used just
for the purpose of running configure and similar scripts.
By the way - I think the MinGW GCC port can be run directly from the ms-dos
command prompt (or Windows "Run" command or links), after it has been
installed.
Just have a look at http://www.mingw.org for more infos.
