| Presumably Simon didn't change this. Maybe the msys2 install is broken? Perhaps it is. Should I blow it away and re-install? One other difficulty is that (before my machine change) I tried to follow the instructions on https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows to install 64-bit msys2; but I had a series of problems that Ben G was unable to get to the bottom of. Particularly I could not run bash from emacs; the emacs shell window never got as far as a prompt. So I backed off. As far as I know that is still broken. I think I have not tried the "32-bit msys2 installer" on that page. Maybe that should be my next step? Regardless, it's hard to see how any of this concerns the error message I was getting. As lonetiger said, it looks very similar to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10437 What next?
