Comment:

 No, it's affecting all shells, the only reason it "works" in msys is
 because msys2 has it's own copy of `libgmp-10.dll` which it puts on the
 PATH.

 But this gmp is there for GCC's use not GHC, on Windows `gmp` is supposed
 to be statically linked using `libraries/integer-gmp_CONFIGURE_OPTS +=
 --configure-option=--with-intree-gmp` which Make sets.

 TL;DR: Hadrian builds integer-gmp incorrectly.
