Comment:

 https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/822

 The solution above is only partial. pipes are still affected by this
 change in behaviour and there's no way to correct those without inserting
 `dos2unix` calls between the pipes.

 This is a non-starter. The above changes are enough to build GHC again,
 just seems not enough to be able to run `nofib`.

 The best solution is for the `MSYS2` project to revert these `Cygwin`
 patches in the distro. As they're not the expected behaviour for Windows.
