Comment(by nsch):
To be honest, I'm somehow confused on which tools you should use to build
GHC on windows. The different links to the MinGW tools on
[wiki:Building/Preparation/Windows] are broken (there's no
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/tools/Win32 anymore) and by just downloading
the latest MinGW versions from http://mingw.org I get another error:

Yes, there's that ghc-tarballs repository, but it's missing at least
"make" and "autoreconf" (and I think "sh" and stuff like that), so I need
at least some tools from the msys/mingw packages.
This might be just some missing/unclear documentation, but I spend the
last couple of days trying to fix this and I'm not entirely sure anymore
if it's really all my own fault...
