can't link postgresql-libpq on windows

i follow the instructions here: https://github.com/hdbc/hdbc-postgresql/wiki/WindowsInstall

and when cabal tries to link, i get:

Loading package postgresql-libpq-0.8.2.1 ... ghc.exe: Unknown PEi386 section name `.idata$4' (while processing: c:/PROGRA~2/POSTGR~1/9.1/lib\libpq.a)
ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 7.4.1 for i386-unknown-mingw32):
        loadArchive "c:/PROGRA~2/POSTGR~1/9.1/lib\\libpq.a": failed

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Thanks for the report.

I'm a little confused about why the ghc linker is being used in this case, but the error comes from it, so it must be.

In any case, this therefore ought to be fixed by #3658 (closed).
