Comment(by mimosa):
Right, I see. It looks like I've come unstuck by following the author of
the SlackBuild without checking the approach taken. Considering I must be
basically just unpacking the stage 0, it certainly takes a long time.
I'm not sure if I'll now be able to get a revised package ready before
submissions close for this packaging cycle, but if I do, it should be a
proper build, whereas it seems the SlackBuild (linked to somewhere around
here among GHC packages for other distros) not only isn't actually a
package but just installs the stage 0 compiler.
I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time in vain - except not quite
in vain in the sense that it's been informative for me! When I originally
posted here, without that background info, I had every reason to think
this was the right place.
