I don't think so. I am just typing ./configure and make within the
source tree (the parent of the _darcs directory). Is this bad?
No, that should be fine.  The Haddock build error indicates that either 
your Haddock sources are out of date with respect to your GHC sources, or 
Haddock thinks your GHC is a different version than it really is.

What GHC are you using to bootstrap with, BTW?
