i changed the Makefile to pass the .exe explicitly, which did get the
build rolling again.

my configuration is cygwin shell, mingw gcc, win/xp, and i did
make distclean, followed by removing outputs of './darcs-all
whatsnew -l', so the other versions are not likely to be left-overs
(shouldn't distclean remove things like libraries/*/configure and
libraries/*/include/*Config.h.in, among others? or, if those are
needed for a distribution, should there be a pristine target, to
get the source tree without any generated files?).

just for the fun of it, there is yet another version, a soft-link from
compiler/ghc-inplace to compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace.exe.., which
is perhaps the one that should be used?

btw, i didn't notice which patch fixed the missing gmp.h issue,
but there still seem to be some residues of the problem:
