I don't know exactly what that file is, but -B is actually for
pointing Haddock at the GHC lib dir, so it's not surprising that it
doesn't work. I thought that perhaps the package.conf.d file is the
only thing it needs from that directory, but that doesn't seem to be
the case.

I think using --optghc=-package-conf is the correct way to point to
another package DB, so I'll look into why it doesn't work.
