Cabal folk: it looks as if updating Cabal has made GHC on Windows break. Might you investigate?

I guess the current two build server are all Cygwin based, they are failing at the same permission issue at early building stage, it prevents checking out the real problem. It seems msys2 (or msys) seldom has such issue.

For what it is worth, I have been witnessing those permission issues with msys2 on my Windows builders. They worked (more or the less) fine until September 24, but suddenly, something has changed (not on my side) and all I got those errors since.

Looks like the commit with the Cabal submodule update causes this [1]. The revision before that commit still builds fine on my system, while everything else after that commit dies early at build [2]. Is this only me, has anybody else experienced the problem? Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I do not remember to see any related "heads-up" message on the list, like I should update any of the build-time dependencies.
