Comment (by Phyx-):

 I used to track these daily but stopped about 20 days ago.

 But before I did there were only about 12 to 13 failures, and some were
 due to issues in msys2, like the complicated way the backpack tests are
 written w.r.t to shell interactions.

 https://github.com/Mistuke/GhcWindowsBuild/blob/master/testresults/testsuite_summary.x64.windows.2018.04.01.txt

 are the ones I know and expect to fail it looks like somthing broke in the
 rts. Harbormaster shows the same errors now, but I don't build nightlies
 anymore.

 Ideally, we'd stop ignoring the test results in Habormaster.
