Comment (by waern):
Ok, so the problem with links that goes to the wrong place is now fixed
with this patch (in the HEAD):
{{{

* Do not process boot modules
We should of course not try to produce documentation for boot modules!
The
reason this has worked in the past is that the output of "real" modules
overwrites the output of boot modules later in the process. However,
this
causes a subtle link environment problem. So let's get rid of this
stupid
behaviour.
We avoid processing boot modules, but we continue to typecheck them.
}}}
So that was a Haddock bug and not a GHC one.
Now Char from haskell98 has links to definitions in Data.Char and
GHC.Types.
Will tackle CTypes and the likes next.
