RC2 test failure on Win7 with msys2

[Jiahao Chen]

It's been a long time since I've used a Windows machine, but I recently decided to set up a Win7 VM in VMware and try out julia on it.

I'm using 32-bit mingw on 32-bit Win7 as described in README.windows.md and the msys2 alpha binaries. Julia compiles correctly but the tests fail for me:

    JULIA test/all

     * core

Exception on 1: ERROR: box: argument is of incorrect size

at core.jl:1075

...

Has one had any experience compiling with msys2? I would file an issue, but I want to make sure I'm not doing something silly with my toolchain first.

It looks like that test is incorrect for 32-bit systems.
`unbox(Int,1234)` should instead be `unbox(Int64,int64(1234))`.

But on Win64 with a 64 build, I get

make testall
    JULIA test/all
     * core
     * keywordargs
     * numbers
make[1]: *** [all] Error 5
make: *** [testall] Error 2

I get a little farther.
