Oh, I know what is going here. This is a problem in either mingw-w64 (which goes bundled with GHC) or with network package (or both). Ancient wsiapi functions (absent in all reasonable modern windozes) turned to be popped up. One of the possible workarounds is thus: replace your <ghc installation root>\mingw\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\wspiapi.h file with an empty file and reconfigure and rebuild the network package.
