I’m not sure if this lies more with guile or with guix, but there’s definitely
room for improvment either way.

haskell-check.scm was changed as follows:

- ("ghc-clock-bootstrap" ,ghc-clock-bootstrap)
+ ("ghc-clock-bootstrap" ,(@@ (gnu packages haskell) ghc-clock-bootstrap))

In haskell.scm I had a working package definition for ghc-clock-bootstrap,
and added a definition for ghc-clock along these lines:

+(define-public ghc-clock
+ (package
+ (inherit ghc-clock-bootstrap)
+ (name "ghc-clock")
+ ;;(version "0.7.2")
+ (source
+ (origin
+ (method url-fetch)
+ (uri (string-append
+ "clock/"
+ "clock-" version ".tar.gz"))
+ (sha256
+ (base32 "07v91s20halsqjmziqb1sqjp2sjpckl9by7y28aaklwqi2bh2rl8"))
+ (patches
+ (search-patches
+ "ghc-clock-disable-library.patch"))))
+ (inputs
+ `(("ghc-tasty" ,ghc-tasty)
+ ("ghc-tasty-quickcheck" ,ghc-tasty-quickcheck)))
+ (arguments
+ `(#:tests? #t))))
+

This is broken due to the reference to version, fixed by uncommenting the
version field. The problem is with the error messages:

guix build ghc-clock

gave pages of warnings, ending with a plain

guix build: error: ghc-clock: unknown package

Knowing I’d edited haskell.scm and it worked fine before, I ran

guild compile haskell.scm

which hung.

Finally

guild compile haskell-check.scm

very subtly pointed me at some issue with version in haskell.scm. Full
output below.
