Cygwin isn't supported. Please use `msys2` as described in [wiki:Building/Preparation/Windows], and report any problems you might run into.

The same behavior occurs under 'msys2'. The problem are the <space>'s in the path: {{{ "C:/Program Files/Haskell Platform/8.0.1/lib/../mingw/bin/" }}} Renaming various environment variables just resulted in different errors: {{{ export CC_STAGE0=c:/progra~1/haskel~1/8.0.1/mingw/bin/gcc.exe export LD_STAGE0=c:/progra~1/haskel~1/8.0.1/mingw/bin/ld.exe export AR_STAGE0=c:/progra~1/haskel~1/8.0.1/mingw/bin/ar.exe }}} The solution was to uninstall haskell and reinstall from scratch in a path without <space>s. {{{ "C:/haskell/8.0.1/lib/../mingw/bin/gcc.exe" }}} 'make' and 'make install' now complete successfully. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12171#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I don't understand how it picked up your installed GCC. We hardcode the path to the inplace GCC..
