[Haskell-cafe] Building documentation only?

[Roman Cheplyaka]

That's not possible; haddock uses the ghc api so it needs to be able to
load the dependencies.

If the packages in question never use template haskell, you could try to
install them with -fno-code -fwrite-interface. Otherwise, the next best
thing is to pass -O0.
