Curiously you are right. Target is
,("Target platform","i386-unknown-mingw32")
Weird since it's a 64-bit machine.

Sure.

If you have a 64bit Windows machine, then you'll be able to run both the 32bit
and 64bit GHC builds. If you run "ghc --info | grep Target" then you'll see
which is being used - it'll say x86_64-unknown-mingw32 if it's 64bit, and
i386-unknown-mingw32 if it's 32bit. I suspect that you have a 32bit GHC, so
comparing with the 32bit numbers is right. They probably just need updating for
recent wobbles.
Thanks
