 gcc used by ghc is now about 1.5 years old. It's going to take some time
 for a new GHC release as well. Would be good to update gcc too. Probably
 it's backwards compatible with old gcc so would be easy to patch.

 /get-win32-tarballs.sh#L104-L114

 source code also points to other tools of which some have newer versions.
