 I'm trying to build cross-compiler(ghc-8.4.1) but got an error.

 Target platform is 32-bit windows.


 Here is what I do:

 1. pull docker image[1]: `docker pull gregweber/ghc-haskell-dev`

 2. install gcc-mingw-w64-i686: `apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64-i686`

 3. download ghc source and switch to tag ghc-8.4.1-release

 4. run `./boot`

 5. `CC=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc ./configure --target=i686-w64-mingw32
 --enable-unregisterised`

 6. `cp mk/build.mk.sample mk/build.mk`

 7. uncomment the line: `BuildFlavour = quick-cross-ncg`

 8. run `make`


 Error message:

 If using `BuildFlavour = quick`, it works well.
