    After some more searching I did find that the network package has caused issues compiling on windows before (e.g. this issue). The only change that 3.1.2.7 introduced was actually to try to make it work on windows. Maybe they did not succeed completely? I think it is a good idea to open an issue on their issue tracker: https://github.com/haskell/network/issues.
