 Seems it built successfully.

 I started with a cblrepo sync to initialize it. Here are the 
 files/directories in my ah-ghc74 directory after running the scripts:

 I made a copy of it for safety, then tried to install it:

 sudo pacman -U ghc/ghc-7.4.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

 It says it cannot resolve the dependencies, namely ghc 7.0.3-2, but ghc 
 --version gives: The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, 
 version 7.0.3.

 Any clue? I did not update my arch for a while, maybe this is why.

 By the way, where should I upload it when finished?

 Thanks again for the help, it takes a while to compile, but it's fun :)
