Yes, it is. It will be created if it doesn't exist. However, you can
surely select any prefix you want (even with paths of form c:/dir1/dir2,
etc).

Notes are here (version can be out of the date, surely):
http://wiki.llvm.org/index.php/Note:MingW32:LLVMCompilation
However, I won't recommend anybody without prior knowledge of gcc/llvm
internals to compile llvm-gcc by hands. Use supplied binaries. Also
note, that you'll need 2 additional patches for mingw32/cygwin (already
in mainline and in mingw32 binaries tarballs).
