Description
I'm getting new behaviour where the ghc the compiler we are using are unable to find installed packages where it used to be able to do so.
I have a work around for the problem, but feel that this should work out of the box with the work around.
I have documented my findings here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/issues/4614
The work around we are using is here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/pull/4590
I have raised this issue to start a conversation about what recent change might have occurred that would cause this change in behaviour and discuss if there are any options to make the work around unnecessary.

Research direction
Start with the findings in cardano-node#4614 and the workaround in cardano-node#4590, then inspect how this action sets up MSYS2 and exposes installed GHC packages. Reproduce the package lookup failure in a minimal workflow and define done as making installed packages discoverable without the workaround.
