realgcc.exe unable to start correctly

[tsoernes]

Trying to install some packages outside of a project. Using (global) resolver LTS-8.15.
I'm getting this:

With popups saying this:

Stack version

stack --version
Version 1.4.0, Git revision e714f1dd3fade19496d91bd6a017e435a96a6bcd x86_64 hpack-0.17.0

Method of installation

• Official binary, downloaded from stackage.org or fpcomplete's package repository

Windows 10 x64

C:\Users\Torstein>where realgcc
C:\Users\Torstein\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.0.1\mingw\bin\realgcc.exe
C:\Users\Torstein>where gcc
C:\Users\Torstein\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.0.1\mingw\bin\gcc.exe

There's also a realgcc.exe in the ghc-8.0.2 folder, though it looks to be identical.

I get this very same error (=Exit code: -1073741502) today in every stack project I tried, after letting Windows 10 install a "functional update". I don't see any popups though.

Was able to compile yesterday. I blame Microsoft.

Update: From #2998

Replacing gcc.exe with the fixed one from https://github.com/Mistuke/ghc-compat works for for me.

I can confirm @random-j-farmer's fix worked for me.

I am closing this issue given the passage of time.
