Curious! I never had a problem building haddock as part of the platform
before, but in the new build, I ran across the need for ghc-paths. Perhaps
the old build isn't nearly as "hermetic" as I thought it was, and new one
more so. It is also possible that GHC might have previously shipped with
ghc-paths?
