Comment (by gintas):

 This turns out to be an issue with the old mingw gcc that is bundled with
 GHC in the ghc-tarballs repository. A simple C file printing it arguments
 prints a mangled string when compiled with the bundled gcc, but works fine
 when using the relatively up-to-date system gcc version.
