Intermittent failure when building with GHC 8.10.2 on Windows
In our Windows builds on Github Actions, sometimes the compiler fails like this:
In file included from C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\ghc.8.10.2\tools\ghc-8.10.2\lib/include/HsFFI.h:20,
from cbits\closure_size.c:27:0: error:
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\ghc.8.10.2\tools\ghc-8.10.2\lib/include/stg/Types.h:26:9: warning: #warning "Mismatch between __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO definitions. If using Rts.h make sure it is the first header included." [-Wcpp]
26 | # warning "Mismatch between __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO definitions. \
| ^~~~~~~The failure is very intermittent and it isn't clear if the fault is with Github Actions or with GHC, but it has happened at least twice.
