 Yes, that's correct, Haddock started building to object code for TH
 modules relatively recently. It should have started with 2.4.2, released
 Mar 21 2009. Then we switched to the native code generator (instead of
 compiling via C) in 2.5.0. In the latest release we use the native code
 generator only on platforms where it's available.
