I see on the gcc command line:

-IC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Haskell Platform\\2010.1.0.0/include

On my machine, HsFFI.h is in lib/include, so maybe try with
--extra-include-dirs=-IC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Haskell
Platform\\2010.1.0.0\\lib\\include


I also ran into problems with the directory package on windows, that I got
around by making sure every thing was installed with --global
