Compilation of any project fails with "cc1.exe: error: /mingw64/include: Invalid argument"

[mnn]

General summary/comments (optional)

It's Windows 10 run in Virtual Box (the official MS image). I didn't change any localization settings, so #1448 should not be relevant (to be sure I tried setting LANG, but it had not effect).

Steps to reproduce

0. run in Windows 10 for VirtualBox from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
1. stack new test
2. cd test
3. stack run

Expected

Compiles and prints someFunc.

I tried to run the failed long command manually, but I guess it relies on stack providing something in the environment:

Configuring test-0.1.0.0...
Cabal-simple_Z6RU0evB_3.2.1.0_ghc-8.10.7.exe: The program 'ghc' version

Stack version

> stack --version
Version 2.7.3, Git revision 7927a3aec32e2b2e5e4fb5be76d0d50eddcc197f x86_64 hpack-0.34.4

Method of installation

• Official binary - the Windows installer

I have also tried the ghcup route, but the result is the same. I am now trying older package set (previous tests were with LTS 18.21).

Edit: So it's broken in a same way till LTS with GHC 8.8.4, since that version it fails with .\test.cabal: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory).

Closing, given the passage of time and no other user is reporting similar problems with more current versions of Stack.

I pretty much gave up on Haskell on Windows (was unable to reproduce a compilation issue of my open-source project specific to Windows, because Stack on Windows and/or VM crashed way sooner than compilation of my program started). Judging from this ticket, supported is nonexistent. I provided clear repro, yet nobody even tried it. It looks rather dead...

@mnn, I'm also a Windows user and have had similar experiences in the past, but I think GHC and Stack today are more Windows-friendly than they have ever been. The large backlog of issues in this repository is a practical problem and I am trying to winnow them.
