RE: building ghc from source

I believe your problem is here.  You must not use Cygwin-style paths when specifying what GCC is.  Instead use

          --with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc

Can you let me know if that fixes it?  (remove config.cache before reconfiguring)

The online Building Guide is wrong on this point, but it’s fixed in the repository.  I’ll try to get the fixed version online asap.
