Comment (by mcandre):

 I can compile ghci.c with MinGW. But it complains that I should have
 compiled using a wrapper:
 {{{
 C:\Users\andrew\Desktop\ghci test>ghci.exe
 GHCi, version 6.12.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 : panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.12.3 for i386-unknown-mingw32):
         can't decompose ghc.exe path:
 "C:\\Users\\andrew\\Desktop\\GHCITE~1\\ghc
 .exe"

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 }}}
 In {{{ghci.c}}}, a comment says to compile with MinGW as follows:
 {{{
 gcc -o ghci.exe ghciwrap.c
 }}}

 Where is {{{ghciwrap.c}}}? It's not in the same directory as {{{ghci.c}}}.
 Is the file created at compile time by make?
