 It would be nice to be able to build ghc on Windows with mingw32-make
 which is bundled with the prebuilt gcc package that we are using for the
 ghc build. mingw32-make might be faster (due to less overhead associated
 with POSIX compatibility, forks etc.) and more reliable - msys2's make is
 a bit glitchy because it needs to fork off a lot of processes and
 sometimes runs into issues with fork(), which should not be a problem for
 mingw32-make.
