Use abs to get the latest ghc PKGBUILD* and edit the file by adding

    options=(!strip)

somewhere and rebuild it with makepkg -si (that sould rebuild ghc
without stripping and reinstall with pacman afterwards).

Something like this:

    # pacman -S abs
    # abs
    $ cp -r /var/abs/extra/ghc /tmp/ghc
    $ cd /tmp/ghc
    $ vi PGKBUILD
    [add the option]
    $ makepkg -si
