<p dir="ltr">We have discussed a few options on what to do, but haven't gotten a conclusion/concensus yet. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Last we talked one option was presented to just re-tar the 7.10.3 and 8.0.2 tarballs with the fix. The gcc wrapper does not affect code generation of the compiler, it's just there to correct paths that are hard-coded in gcc because it was built to be used in MSYS2.</p>
<p dir="ltr">7.10.3 would be needed since we still support bootstrapping using it. This would be the easiest solution.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ben what do you think about changing the already released tarballs? Or would you prefer a full new release?</p>

See [1] for the previous discussion, [2] and [3] for the tickets discussing this. From what I read on the GHC 8.2 status wiki page, there might be an interval of some weeks where it will not be possible to compile a Haskell program on any up-to-date Windows
