Install Traceroute on windows' MSYS2 using pacman

I try to install traceroute on MSYS2. Using its pacman package manager, I update the index:

pacman -Fy

and search for traceroute:

pacman -Fs traceroute

It finds nothing...

Could I use any pacman packages source to install things on MSYS2? For example, could I use the ArchLinux' tracroute?

Note: Has a lazy solution, I installed a bunch of useful packages with pacman -S --needed base-devel msys2-devel. It seems that traceroute is not an essential developper tool...

Traceroute is a part (should be) of inetutils MSYS2 package. Currently the PKGBUILD disabled it's compilation:

    ...
    --disable-uucpd --disable-ifconfig \
    --enable-dnsdomainname \
    --disable-traceroute \ # Here
    ac_cv_func_mmap_fixed_mapped=no
make

You can try cloning MSYS2-packages repo and rebuilding this package or just using windows tracert.exe tool.
