-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
When building GHC 7.10 RC 1 on Windows 10 Technical Preview, 64 bit, in
MSYS2, libffi fails with the message that it cannot determine the build
system, and that `config.guess` and `config.sub` may need to be updated.
The latest versions do indeed work. Unfortunately the scripts are stored
in the `libffi.tar` file, if we don't want to change the file we'll need
some way to get the correct versions in place.
I have a very hacky workaround that downloads the latest versions after
unpacking the tar, which is obviously not how it should be solved, but
might help some people get their RC1 to build before we have a proper fix:
