Hi Travis,
The current MR with my WIP is at
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/1224
This should build without a problem (on Windows, haven't sorted the Linux
build failures yet). The threaded version passes the testsuite (i.e.
-threaded +RTS --io-manager=native) but the non-threaded
version has proven tricky to support correctly. That one still has a
deadlock that I am debugging (though I have made significant progress since
I last updated that MR).
I will push the updated code this weekend. Though I'm afraid that based on
it not getting any review of the design so far and my current work
commitments I won't be able to
get this done for GHC 8.10. So I will punt it to GHC 8.12.
The MR contains a list of TODOs in case you're wondering what's left on it.
Thanks,
Tamar

Hello Haskell friends,
Even though I no longer work at a Windows shop, I've been watching https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/7353 with great interest. Last I knew Tamar Christina was heroically hacking away on a new IO manager for Windows.
Although my low-level Windows knowledge is likely insufficient for me to contribute significantly, I'd be very interested in testing the new IO manager and helping with debugging in any way I can. How might one go about building a GHC with this new Windows IO manager?
Thanks, as always, for all your hard work,
