Description
Freshly installed mosh package under MSYS2. However things don't seem to put together.
~ ❯ mosh localhost
CreateProcessW failed error:2
posix_spawnp: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/mosh: Did not find remote IP address (is SSH ProxyCommand disabled?).
~ ❯ mosh-server.exe new
Error binding to any interface: setsockopt: Invalid argument
Network exception: setsockopt: Invalid argument
I can verify that SSH works fine on localhost:
Is there any information else I should provide to help diagnose?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing mosh localhost and mosh-server.exe new in the reported MSYS2 environment, then compare the working localhost SSH setup. Trace the client executable lookup and server interface binding from these entry points. Done means both commands work under MSYS2 without the reported process, IP, or setsockopt errors.
