This is admittedly somewhat confusing. Perhaps it'd be easier to 
understand if there was a "The error log follows" line somewhere, so 
we'll consider adding it. This is what it'd look like:

     XMonad will use stack ghc --stack-yaml "/home/alain/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml" to recompile.
     XMonad recompiling (forced).
     Errors detected while compiling xmonad config: /home/alain/.config/xmonad/xmonad.hs
     The error log follows:
     
     $ stack build --silent --stack-yaml /home/alain/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml
     
     Please check the file for errors.

This means `stack build …` failed, because it's the last command and 
there's no `stack ghc …` following it. Re-running it manually without 
`--silent` will hopefully reveal what's wrong.
