Ah ok, so I did

echo ":main build -v3" | /usr/local/bin/ghci-6.7.20070816 Setup.hs 1>build.out 2>build.err

and this does indeed seem more informative. advice?

build.err:

build.out:

Sorry, I meant to pass -v3 to cabal, not to ghc compiling/running
Setup.hs

> $ echo ":main build" | /usr/local/bin/ghci-6.7.20070816 -v3 Setup.hs

like:

runghc Setup.hs build -v3
