IMPORTANT: the msys2 installer creates multiple shortcuts, "MSYS2 Shell", "MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell" and "MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell". You need the latter one (or the middle one for 32-bit). The MSYS2 shell is set up for building applications with Cygwin which provides an additional POSIX compatibility layer, while MinGW is set up for building native Windows applications which is what we need for GHC.

An easy way to check that you are running the right shell is to check the output of "echo $PATH". The first item of the list should be /mingw64/bin. Also, "echo $MSYSTEM" should show either "MINGW32" or "MINGW64".
