There's an if clause in the Cabal file. If we're in the GHC tree when building, we set a symbol and then Haddock knows where to look for the libs. If we aren't, *then* we require ghc-paths.
AFAICT it has been this way since 2008.
Curious! I never had a problem building haddock as part of the platform before, but in the new build, I ran across the need for ghc-paths. Perhaps the old build isn't nearly as "hermetic" as I thought it was, and new one more so. It is also possible that GHC might have previously shipped with ghc-paths? - Mark
