Comment:
This is the intended behaviour. We cannot by default rely on an existing
mingw or cygwin installation. There are sometimes subtle compatibility
issues.
Of course if you specifically want to use a different gcc installation
then that is fine. It is just that ghc should not use a different one
automatically without the user knowing about it.
You can override the gcc that ghc uses by using command line flags (see
the [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.2/html/users_guide/options-
phases.html#replacing-phases ghc user guide for details ] and note that
you will need to specify all of `-pgmc`, `-pgma` and `-pgml`).
