this isn't exactly a GHC issue but perhaps someone knows how to get it resolved? (suspecting commercial/stack i've raised [this issue](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5732) there).

Thanks to commericalhaskell/stack maintainer Mike Pilgrem and Michael Snoyman, the 64-bit MSYS2 that `stack` downloads has been bumped to version 20220503 and issue #5732 above is resolved!
