I don't think it's a race, I think it's from the code below:

            func_verbose "creating GNU ld script: $output"

(approx line 7070 in ltmain.m4sh)

where an absolute file name is written to the linker script
and therefore escapes the MSYS argument mangling. Will be
easily fixed by your unmerged patches if you haven't fixed
it already (which I would think you have)...

BTW, a similar issue was recently added by yours truly for 

          func_verbose "using command file archive linking..."

a couple of hundred lines later.
