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.
