This is 'sh validate" on 64bit Windows. Rather a lot of failures. Might you look?
Sure.
The perf tests seem to fail because it's comparing with the *32* bit numbers, even though this is definitely a *64* bit laptop. Whether the entire build system thinks it's a 32 bit machine, or just the testsuite, I can't tell.
If you have a 64bit Windows machine, then you'll be able to run both the 32bit and 64bit GHC builds. If you run "ghc --info | grep Target" then you'll see which is being used - it'll say x86_64-unknown-mingw32 if it's 64bit, and i386-unknown-mingw32 if it's 32bit. I suspect that you have a 32bit GHC, so comparing with the 32bit numbers is right. They probably just need updating for recent wobbles.
