Comment (by snoyberg):

 I've sent a diff for this:

 https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1158

 Unfortunately, I haven't been successful yet at building GHC on Windows,
 so I haven't tested there yet. If someone who's experienced this problem
 has success building with that change, please report back.
