Trouble with building LDC on Windows, specifically with building libconfig

Hello, I am trying to build LDC on my machine (Windows 7 x86_64), 
but I am running into some trouble with building libconfig.

I am using msys2-i686, along with the compilers and tools 
provided via msys2 (gcc/g++ 4.9.2 and make 4.1). This is a slight 
change from the D wiki instructions on building LDC on Windows, 
as the instructions assumed the usage of msys (I am not sure if 
this change breaks the build process). I downloaded 
libconfig-1.5, and when I am in a bash instance via msys2, the 
configure script within the root level runs perfectly fine. 
However, when I issue the command make, the build stops due to 
some failing tests. I am not sure if I am doing something 
incorrectly or if I need to follow different directions to build 
libconfig successfully on my machine.

If it is of any help, I have created a gist of the output given 
when make is run:

If anyone could help me out with this issue, I would be eternally 
grateful.
