In my past experience, there were no versions of gprbuild 
already built for 64bit msys2.  So I too tried to build it myself
with no luck.  I ended up installing a 32bit version which 
did not work at all until I called gprconfig using the --target=xxxxx
option and had it create an auto.cgpr file for me.  I then renamed it
to default.cgpr and put it in the default share location for 
gprbuild (got it from the adacore manual) and then gprbuild would work.

Nowadays I suppose you could install gnat community to get the 64bit
version of gprbuild, install the FSF gnat as well, then make sure
both are in your path but the FSF path is earlier.  This picks up
your FSF gnat (since its path is before gnat community's) but 
also gprbuild.
