Ahhh...didn't see this.

It should be System/Posix/Signals_hsc_make.c

By inspecting hsc2hs' Makefile, I've found (probably) the culprit - l.102:

ifneq "$(HOSTPLATFORM)" "i386-unknown-mingw32"
        @echo "pathSep               = '/'" >> $(CONFIG_HS)
else
	@echo "pathSep               = (toEnum 92 :: Char)" >> $(CONFIG_HS)
endif

which (afaik) puts wrong (suited for cygwin build) separator for hsc2hs.

I don't know much of Makefile rules, but will try to adjust it.

It works.

Yes.

It seems that I've found one piece which needs to be adapted for MSYS build :-)

My modification in hsc2hs' Makefile has passed and now the "make" is contnuing
with the build.

Will inform you about the result.

Sincerely,
