 Greetings,

 I tried to compile a cross compiler for x86_64-w64-mingw32.
 Most of GHC compiles fine. However, after a while there's an error that ld
 can't find a reference to "GetModuleFileNameW". I tried compiling a dummy
 C program with that symbol and it compiles fine.
 My guess is that GHC is using the wrong linker during cross-compiling,
 whereas GCC uses the right one. But I may be totally wrong, so please
 don't rely on that judgement.
 The log of the make run is attached.

 Regards
 Sven
