Comment:

 The compiler will only do what you tell it to. As such it follows the
 standard search path to find dependencies. You're globally modifying your
 library directories and so telling it to look there, it's doing just that.

 I believe platform also provides an msys2 shell, you can configure that
 not to inherit your environment values or remove them in your bash
 profile.

 You can try reporting this to https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform
 but I can't speak for them whether this is a bug or not. They likely don't
 want to modify your global environment by default in a heavy handed way.

 But this is just a configuration issue. Setting `LIBRARY_PATH` will affect
 all GCC's on the machine if you set it globally.
