This reverts commit d6cecde585b0980ed8e0050c5a1d315789fb6356. The patch broke Simon PJ's Windows build, becuase he didn't have (and should not need) a separate msys2 gcc. Following an exchange on the ghc-devs list, Tamar wrote Oops, sorry, didn’t notice it because both mine and harbormaster’s msys2 have separate GCCs installed as well. I don’t see an easy fix that would also work for end user Configure based cabal installs. So I think I’ll have to go back to the drawing board for this one. You can just leave it reverted. }}} It looks like we won't be acting on this ticket any further.
