I understood the OP's closing remark -- "...why ghc still needs gcc (at least on Windows)?" -- as a suggestion that GHC on Windows would be better served by not bundling GCC.
However, I'm probably not the only one who's written a little C to go along with a lot of Haskell -- and it's nice that the default Windows distribution supports that code (unlike some other type-inferring, statically typed, strongly typed languages, which ship with a little hole to fill in for the C compiler). -- _jsn _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
