For what it's worth, the Arch Wiki warns about this (
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xmonad#Problems_with_finding_shared_librari...)
and gives solutions. The way Arch manages its Haskell packages causes
problems like this.

Hi,
I use xmonad on arch linux. I've recently updated my system, as one often does, and now my xmonad.hs is failing to compile and I am failing to start xmonad.
Might not be very helpful, but I'm also on Arch and I moved from using system-provided Haskell packages for my xmonad needs.
System-provided packages are upgraded almost on every update, and xmonad has to be recompiled every time, and if you forget to recompile it then after a reboot your DE won't work and you have to drop to a tty to fix that.
Also, there is a truckload of haskell packages and they clutter up the update logs - removing them freshened up things considerably.
So I can't help you with this particular problem, but I can help you transition to stack-based install, which has the nice benefit of not breaking on system updates. (however, it has the downside of taking 13GB of space in the ~/.stack/ folder, YMMV)
