I applied your patch to my 6.2 source tree in my attempt to build 6.2 from
source in MSYS/MinGW environment and so far - it looks good. I can invoke
ghc-inplace and get:

$ /ghc/ghc-6.2/ghc/compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.2, for Haskell 98, compiled by GHC version 6.0.1

Hsc static flags: -static

(I don't have cygwin installed so I'm waiting for a new *.msi to test more
thoroughly.)

However, I hit another problem in my build problem  - pls. see "MSYS build"
thread in cvs-ghc.

Sincerely,
Gour
