`gcc.exe' failed in phase `Assembler'. (Exit code: -1073741502)
Recently, GHC stopped working for me on my Windows 10 machine.
I strongly reckon this has to do with my recent switch to the Windows Insider Fast-Ring builds: I'm currently on version 1703, build 15058.
Here's what I got in a mingw shell (ghc 8.0.2 from the core HP, same output with PowerShell):
$ cat << EOF > hw.hs
> main = putStrLn "hi"
> EOF
$ ghc hw.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( hw.hs, hw.o )
`gcc.exe' failed in phase `Assembler'. (Exit code: -1073741502)This seems to be independent of the GHC version, as I tried stack setup with different stack LTSs, which hit the same error when compiling some sanity checks.
Currently I'm about to reverting back to Slow-Ring, but when the actual switch is to happen is only known to Bill Gates himself it seems. I believe it will then work again, but this is something to look out for when/if the Fast-Ring changes eventually make it into Windows stable.
