Hi Magnus,
On Gentoo we build haddock with:
runghc Setup.hs configure --ghc-options=-rtsopts
https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/master/dev-haskell/haddock/haddock-2.10.0-r1.ebuild
and then add these options when running haddock:
+RTS -K16M -RTS
Also this upstream patch is useful to avoid haddock failing on unicode chars:
https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/master/dev-haskell/haddock/files/haddock-2.10.0-dont-crash-on-unicode-strings-in-doc-comments.patch
Please feel free to use any patches in the Gentoo Haskell overlay:
https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell
Regards, Mark
