When I downloaded and unpacked the latest GHC snapshot of the STABLE

Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... :

The complaint about _sqrtf also shows up when I try to
compile/link anything with ghc; so the problem is bigger
than just not being able to use GHCi.
The GHC is installed in c:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2, the PATH begins with
c:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2;c:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\bin;c:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\gcc-lib;
LIBRARY_PATH is set to c:\ghc\ghc-6.4.2\gcc-lib
I know for sure that the 6.4.2 snapshot of a couple of weeks ago
worked fine, so I wonder what might be wrong with the latest one.
I would appreciate any hints.
Sigbjorn's candidate installer doesn't have this problem:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6-4-2-20060421.msi
It's a bug in 6.4.2, sadly.
Cheers,
Simon
