I got a resolution to this problem on a different mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/glasgow-haskell-users <at> haskell.org/ msg10063.html I've attached a patch that makes it work for me. It's not cross- platform happy, but it makes the Windows compile work. Darcs "get" from http://darcs.complete.org/hdbc-odbc/ and apply the patch.
