After looking into it a bit, I'm beginning to think that it is in fact on
us (stack as it happens) to upgrade our msys installer. I have a workaround
for now:
```
stack exec -- curl -O
http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
stack exec --  pacman -U msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
--noconfirm
stack exec -- pacman -Syu autoconf automake-wrapper make patch python tar
mintty --noconfirm"
```
