Using c2hs on Windows

Question

I'm trying to use the libxml-enumerator package on Windows, which (ultimately) needs to use c2hs. When trying to build the relevant package, I get the seemingly infamous "does not exist" error from c2hs. This seems to be related to not having GCC installed, but this seems a list strange, since I've added Haskell's copy of gcc.exe to my path.

Does anyone know how to defeat this bug?

Turns out the answer is to install MinGW by itself and not rely on the MinGW included with GHC. Hope this helps someone in the future.
