 If you want to make source dist, compile it into bindist then run tests
 with the bindist, it fails.

 {{{
     mk/get-win32-tarballs.sh download all
     ./boot
     ./configure "$@"
     make sdist
     mkdir -p sdist-build-dir
     pushd sdist-build-dir
     shopt -s extglob
     tar xvfJ ../sdistprep/ghc-*+([[:digit:]])-src.tar.xz sdist-build-dir
     cd ghc-*
     ./boot
     ./configure "$@"
     make -j$THREADS
     make binary-dist
     popd
     mkdir -p bdist-test-dir
     pushd bdist-test-dir
     tar xvfJ ../sdist-build-dir/ghc-*/ghc-*.tar.xz
     tar xvfJ ../sdistprep/ghc*testsuite.tar.xz
     cd ghc-*
     ./configure
     make test
 }}}

 I do not have the failure error on hand but it had to do with Haddock
 trying to read its version from .cabal file which was not included in the
 bindist/sdist. I have communicated this problem to Ben at the time and
 this ticket is just to track progress.
