Comment (by wozgonon):

 Looking at my build log, it would pick up gcc from the installed GHC at
 "c/haskell/8.0.1/mingw/bin"

 {{{
 $ echo $PATH
 /c/haskell/8.0.1/bin/:/c/haskell/8.0.1/lib/extralibs/bin/:/c/haskell/8.0.1/mingw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0
 }}}

 The error from ./configure was:
 {{{

 Platform/8.0.1/lib/../mingw/bin/gcc.exe option to accept ISO C99...

 }}}

 The error in config.log was:
 {{{

 ./configure: line 1671: C:/Program: No such file or directory
 }}}
