There's no need to rebuild the entire ghc system to hack the
data package. You onky need to update HSdata*.{o,a} from
{prefix}/lib/ghc-${VERSION} and *.hi files from import
directory. Just go to ${SOURCES}/hslibs/data and say
make HC=ghc.

I didn't try it to the end, but at least it compiles. You
can also just take all the '*.{,l}hs' files from
hslibs/data.
