I was searching a little bit in the lists' archives and found the following
message:

http://haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2003-October/005822.html


which exactly describes the problem.

Something is broken in 6.2 win32 build since 6.0.1 works in the same 
environment (MinGW/MSYS) and produces main.exe.

I don't know why the MinGW/MSYS is not supported since it provides easy
configure ; make ; make install mechanism.

I've found few messages in the archives describing some quirks in an attempt
to build ghc from the source with MinGW.

So, I downgraded to 6.0.1 and will try to build one of the latest 6.3
snapshots.

Sincerely,
Gour
