exception was:
ExitFailure 1
This appears to be a Windows-specific issue; same versions tested worked on Mac.
Possibly relevant issue elsewhere with what looks like the same error somehow related to cabal/ghc versions on Windows although I haven't had time to dig into this yet to be sure that it really is the same thing:
haskell/cabal#8780
Best solution currently is to use a different GHC version. 8.10.5 is good, but I also had a successful build with 9.0.1.
Hmm...same error as that other issue I linked but maybe not the same cause. My 9.4.8 install was using cabal 3.10.2.1.
Looks like this is the fix:
haskell/cabal#9443
which was merged into cabal (Nov 17) after the last formal release (3.10.2.1 on Nov 9) so I guess an earlier cabal is the only viable solution right now, and earlier cabal means earlier ghc.
