Running Haddock for ghc-6.9...

This is haddock failing, right? What version do you have?
Yes. Though I've got no idea how to get the RTS option to it,
as it is called via cabal (which has --prog-options for build, but
not for haddock?). Version is 0.8.
It seemed odd that the buildbot fast head for windows doesn't
have this problem, so I switched to validate and experimented some
more. The logs don't tell me which haddock is used there, but I
happened to have a haddock 0.9 somewhere - makes no difference.
Next, I upgraded my build compiler, from 6.6.1 to 6.8.3 (which is
what the builder is using). This shouldn't affect the haddock command,
but I wanted to minimize the differences. More to the point, I also
rebuilt haddock 0.9 with ghc 6.8.3, adding -O to configure.
And now, validate is well into tests, past haddocking ghc-6.9!
No idea whether it was 6.8.3 or -O that made the difference,
but a difference there is (my haddock 0.8 was compiled before
+RTS --info, probably with ghc 6.6.1; my haddock 0.9 was
originally compiled with some ghc 6.9). It would be useful if
+RTS --info also gave the commandline used for compilation,
or at least whether or not -O was used.
Just waiting for the test results.. they match the builder, with the
obligatory added unexpected failure ThreadDelay001(normal).
I'm still hoping for a full head with working binary-dist, but at
least I've finally got something to work with again!-)
