In the current implementation of the ghc-pkg util it is impossible to build GHCi libs if you don't have ld in the current search path. Under Windows the compiler usually comes with its own linker (ghc-lib/ld.exe). Why doesn't ghc-pkg use the own linker? If there isn't any reason not to do that I would like to apply the patch:

...

#ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS execDir <- getExecDir "/bin/ghc-pkg.exe" system (maybe "" (++"/gcc-lib/") execDir++"ld -r -x -o " ++ ghci_lib_file ++

...

" --whole-archive " ++ batch_lib_file) #else

...

#endif

Please go ahead and apply this patch. Cheers, Simon
