So I spent my weekend in the jungles Windows compatibility layers. I'll spare you the details as they are gruesome but here's a brief summary,
* There are a few nasty bugs currently in msys2 which affect the GHC testsuite driver:
* Mingw Python packages are terribly broken (#12554)
* Msys Python packages are also broken, but differently and only with msys2-runtime >= 2.5.1 (#12660)
My apologies, this was supposed to read #12661. Cheers, - Ben
