ghc-toolchain and configure disagree on whether windres exists
Summary
Please read the guidance in [https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/report-a-bug] and write a brief description of the issue.
Steps to reproduce
- clone ghc
- ./boot && ./configure
- see the following:
For more information on how to configure your GHC build, see
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/building/hadrian
configure: WARNING:
There are some differences between the toolchain configured by "configure" (hadrian/cfg/default.target) and the toolchain configured by the "ghc-toolchain" program (hadrian/cfg/default.target.ghc-toolchain).

< , tgtWindres = Just Program { prgPath = "/usr/bin/windres" , prgFlags = [] }
---
> , tgtWindres = Nothing
Don't worry! This won't affect your ghc in any way.
However, in a near future, we will move to configuring toolchains with "ghc-toolchain" by default, so you might have discovered a future bug.
In light of it, if you've spotted this difference, please report a GHC bug at https://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
currently narrowing down what triggered the difference..
Expected behavior
no diff between toolchain and configure
Environment
- GHC version used: HEAD (host has The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 9.6.4)
Optional:
- Operating System: Gentoo GNU/Linux
- System Architecture: x86-64
