Comment (by arvindd):

 I am just trying to install iHaskell on WSL, and in the process, I am hit
 also by this bug. The bug specifically occurs when I am installing one of
 its dependencies via stack: "stack install gtk2hs-buildtools". The error I
 get is:

 ghc-cabal: Cannot find the program 'ghc'. User-specified path
 '/home/athas/sandbox/ghc-8.2.2/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1' does not refer to
 an
 executable and the program is not on the system path.

 Is there some possibility that this bug is solved in the near future? (GHC
 8.4.1 is just released, and I assume the problem still exists there -
 although I am yet to install the same on my machine.)
