Windows build failure

[Mitchell, Neil]

Hi Ian,

| I'm not sure why some people see this and others don't. Anyway, John
Dias has also seen it, and he and Duncan

<path>" flag to gcc, to tell it where its bits are).

My best guess is that it's a mingw issue, something that chanced in
recent release. It seems to effect more than just GHC.

Thanks

Neil
