Lots of people seem to have had problems compiling Wash with GHC 6.4. As far as we know, they are all caused by the fact that the package-configuration file format changed in 6.4, and you need to fix that before it'll compile cleanly. Maybe someone can make available a version of Wash that works, rather than have everyone duplicate effort? (In GHC's defence, the package spec is still in flux, esp with Cabal coming on-stream. I know it's inconvenient to have changes.) However, the problems other people have been having are of the form "can't find interface file definition" rather than an indefinite hang. That's undoubtedly odd. You could tar up the complete tree and send it to us to see if we can reproduce what's going on. Certainly, GHC should never just hang. But it might be easier just to fix the package spec. I think the problem is that you need to list all the modules in a package, whereas you didn't before.
