 I am trying to build GHC 7.8.3 on my computer, but in final phase of
 building it fails.

 I have downloaded both packages with sources, one with compiler and
 minimal set of libraries, second with extra building tools required on
 Windows. I have unzipped files to same folder.

 I was following instructions given in your wiki.
 I installed required tools and set PATH variable.
 Next I run ./configure and it finished successfully, but when I have
 executed make, it has stopped with errors

 In a block below there is an output of make.
