Oh dear; thank you for raising this with upstream, Shayne! Let's hope
there is action soon.

After looking into it a bit, I'm beginning to think that it is in fact on us (stack as it happens) to upgrade our msys installer. I have a workaround for now:

```
stack exec -- curl -O http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

stack exec -- pacman -U msys2-keyring-r21.b39fb11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz --noconfirm
stack exec -- pacman -Syu autoconf automake-wrapper make patch python tar mintty --noconfirm"

```
