pps. ah, silly me. i finally understand that ghc ticket #1280 is not a ghc issue at all. if gcc depends on that same call, it will not see the mingw ld as executable, so might fall back on defaults later in the PATH, right? but that would make me wonder how anyone could have a vista build of ghc? perhaps they are using a newer mingw/gcc, with some workaround for the issue? well, i'll stop guessing here.
there we go: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=679462 .. * include/io.h (__mingw_access): New static inline wrapper to restore pre-Vista 'access (fname, X_OK)' behaviour. (__USE_MINGW_ACCESS): Use to map access() to __mingw_access(). .. that looks promising, doesn't it? claus
