That's the usual thing to do.

Often on MSYS or MSYS2 compiled executables would run, and then on 
Command Prompt it will fail to start. My usual rule is that when 
the executable is to run outside of the MSYS or MSYS2 environment, 
copy it out and test it on Command Prompt to make sure it has all 
the DLLs it needs.

It can be avoided if one uses TDM's gcc executables for 32 bit 
Win32 with sjlj exception handling.

I checked earlier today, traditional MinGW/MSYS and the newer 
MSYS2 both have their default gcc compilers for 32 bit Win32 using 
Dwarf-2 exception handling, needing the DLL.
