[ ghc-Bugs-1166368 ] Windows build of GHC 6.4 doesn't seem to work on Win98 SE

Summary: Windows build of GHC 6.4 doesn't seem to work on Win98 SE

Initial Comment:
I get the error message "The GHC.EXE file is linked to
missing export SHELL32.DLL:SHGetFolderPathA."

It appears that this function is available in
SHELL32.DLL in Windows 2000 and XP, but not in
Windows95/98/98SE. It is also available in ShFolder.dll
available from 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6AE02498-07E9-48F1-A5D6-DBFA18D37E0F
but installing that doesn't help much, as GHC would
need to be relinked.

Probably dynamically linking to (and including)
ShFolder.dll in the case of Win95/98 would work.

I believe I have fixed this.  The problem was that in the registerised
build, we weren't maintaining the correct stack alignment for foreign
calls, and printf() relies on having the right alignment because it
saves the %xmm registers on the stack as part of the varargs magic.

Cheers,

Summary: ghc-6.4 crashes on windows 2000

Initial Comment:
Today I installed ghc-6.4 (binary) on windows 2000.

I tried to compile my webserver. It consists of very
basic code and uses no fancy features (although I need
to give -fglasgow-exts for some empty data declarations
etc.). Under linux (mandrake 10.1), ghc 6.4 (also a
binary) compiles my webserver just fine.

Under windows, however, ghc crashes 90% of the runs,
giving various scary error messages, such as:

***
ghc.exe: internal error: scavenge:
unimplemented/strange closure type 44304  <at>  01F6137C
***

windows98se, running ghci under cygwin bash

as reported in:

http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/glasgow-haskell-
bugs/2005-March/004856.html

I have since revised my initial rating "file bug report and 
live with it", as this has become a serious obstacle, 
annoying at best, but sometimes rendering the bash 
window completely uncooperative, meaning that I have 
to use the task manager to kill some processes.
