You two are talking about different things, I think.

that they can be mixed with code compiled by MS compilers
That is an excellent user-level goal.
Yes we want a GHC install that doesn't include any of the mingw
tools, this is
the whole point. ...
This is a laudable GHC-development goal.
and the same applies to the *using* GHC. i don't see any problems with
using tools of any sort as long as they are free and don't force any
license for the compiled code
I agree, as a user. Remember that if GHC met its development goal it
would fulfil the user-level goal as well. As a practical matter,
with the development goal there would also be fewer dependencies,
fewer things to break and fewer workarounds to support Windows
compatibility.
