Fyi, I can't reproduce this specific problem on Cygwin at least (I don't
have any working pure Msys2 environment yet (still working on it), as
this may exactly be the kind of failure I'd expect Msys2 to be prone to
while Cygwin to be unaffected by). 

What I tried in order to reproduce:

  $ git rev-parse HEAD
  084d241b316bfa12e41fc34cae993ca276bf0730  # <-- this is the Py3/testsuite commit 

  $ make TEST=tc012 WAY=normal
  ...

And btw, with the latest GHC HEAD commit (and I suspect the recent
HEAP_ALLOCED-related commits to be responsible for that), I get a ton of
testsuite failures due to such errors:

  T8639_api.exe: Unknown PEi386 section name `staticclosures' (while processing: C:\cygwin64\home\ghc\ghc-hvr\libraries\ghc-prim\dist-install\build\HSghcpr_BE58KUgBe9ELCsPXiJ1Q2r.o)
