I've just unmasked and built 7.0.4 myself, without having 6.12.3
installed before hand. A couple of things I've found:
* Line 230 of the exlib ( edo mv "${IMAGE}/${src}"
"${IMAGE}/usr/bin/haddock-ghc-${SLOT}" ) fails, as
${IMAGE}/usr/bin/haddock-7.0.4 is a symlink to haddock-ghc-7.0.4 (at
least when bootstrapping). I don't know if this occurs for earlier
versions of GHC as well. I currently have a patch for this that
assumes this only occurs for ghc >= 7.
* I don't think the alternative line in the haddock exheres is
correct, as only one alternative is available in eclectic after
installing it (i.e. the GHC haddock).
