Actually, I'm not getting any errors from it, although I can only find
the haskell-ghc-paths package in the AUR (I have [haskell] in my
pacman.conf), which doesn't seem right to me. I tried looking in the
extra/ghc pkgbuild, where I found the following comment, but nothing
else:
# Special note for devs looking to upgrade this package:
#   ghc places a unique hash for each library when it is built.
#   Libraries depend on versions specified by those hashes.
#   This implies that all libraries need to be rebuilt when ghc is rebuilt.
#   Also, due to dependency loop problems, haskell-ghc-paths and haddock
#   do not carry version dependencies. You will have to remember to
build them too.
