In any case it looks fairly simple to write. If only I were set up to be able to compile GHC I could write the necessary code myself . . .

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. Max.
