Hi!

It's perfectly normal, to use that gcc. What it should do is to check out the ghc-tarballs repo and unpack a gcc from there. 
Now that I think of it, I had to manually get that repo last time. Maybe sync-all is broken?

I tried to build GHC on windows recently and for some reason it tries to use a MinGW in repopath/inplace/mingw. I had to copy my entire mingw installation there to get it to configure.

This isn't normal, right?

Regards.
