Not stupid at all, but possibly the wrong mailing list.
glasgow-haskell-users would usually be a better place to ask.

You're using Haddock 2.0 or newer. It's not actually possible to build
GHC with it; you must use Haddock 0.9.

Many other packages apparently break with Haddock 2, but GHC is
certainly rather visible :-)  It is possible to have Haddock 0.9 and
2.0 installed simultaneously under different names or in different
locations, but you'll have to patch GHC's sources in order to specify
which Haddock to use. It's a small patch; look on Trac for it.
