These are  actually my steps:
1) Download & install
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20100831/mingw-get-inst-20100831.exe/download
2) download luatex source
http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/download/frsrelease/382/1568/luatex-beta-0.63.0.tar.bz2
and
uncompress
3) add --without-ln-s \
just after
 --without-mf-x-toolkit --without-x \
og build.sh
4) open the MingGW Shell and do
bash build.sh
Under the MingGW
luatex  --credits gives the expected  ouput
while in cmd & powershell
luatex  --credits
gives nothing
