GHC could not execute gcc.exe in Yesod Installation - haskell

Question

I followed "Yesod quick start guide" to install Yesod in Windows 10.
But, when I issued the stack build command, it failed.
Environment
Windows 10 (64bits)
stack-0.1.5 (for Windows10 64bits)
No Haskell Platform
I executed these commands
stack new my-project yesod-sqlite && cd my-project
stack install yesod-bin cabal-install --install-ghc
stack setup
stack build <--- the error occured
In 'stack build' command, the package installations were done. But, when it build the project, the error occured.
Command Prompt

This is caused by the argument length limit on Windows. Starting in GHC 7.10.3, GHC will support response files for sending linker arguments in order to bypass this limitation. In the meanwhile, a workaround is to manually make the path to your stack root shorter by setting the STACK_ROOT environment variable.
