Interesting: I'm using gcc 3.2.3 (just a bog-standard installation of
the stable mingw bundle).  Could you install 3.2.3 and try building with
that?

Could you also check the getDirContents001 test, WAY=normal.  This test
was crashing until very recently, and it may be the we still don't have
the configure test quite right.  That could account for the GHCi
crashes.
