@jazzynico: You're talking about a gtk2 build of 0.92.x, right? (just to be sure as this bug is about GTK+ 3 in principle)

In fact my (32-bit) MSYS2 builds of 0.92.x (compiled on Windows 10 x64) seem to work just fine on a Windows XP x86 machine, see for example [1] which I just built.
Can you check if this version runs on your XP machine? Maybe we're lacking CMake build flags unless there's not another problem I'm not aware of...

Can you clarify? Does it not work at all? As far as I know an NTFS volume is required for running MSYS, but from what I read it should also work on XP in principle.
