So for a quick hack, modify Cabal to unconditionally omit -optP-P and
see if that makes all your links come out right.

Probably the right thing to do however is to have Cabal use the -optP-P
option only when we're using haddock-0.7 or older (otherwise haddock-0.7
users will get a lexical error when haddock encounters the C line
pragmas).

I think at the moment Cabal doesn't check haddock's version number at
all. So that's something to look at if you or anyone else want to come
up with a patch for this.
