GHC 6.10.1 Win32 release is unusable (on XP SP3)

  1. Running ghc in cmd.exe shell delivers (in my config):

ghc.EXE: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

(GHC version 6.10.1 for i386-unknown-mingw32):

can't decompose ghc.exe path: "G:\\Progs\\ghc-6.10.1\\Bin\\ghc.exe"

  1. runghc.exe/runhaskell.exe hangs.
  2. $topdir\include\mingw\c++ contains subtrees "3.4.5" and "3.4.2". "3.4.2" seems completely irrelevant here.
