Thanks for the bug report Christian. I looked into it and I'm not sure  
how to fix it quickly, and would welcome help. The problem is that  
current haddock (2.2.2) is fragile and make api-doc-with-source can  
fail with "haddock: internal Haddock or GHC error: renameDecl"  
depending on what it has to parse. I think small doc changes have  
fixed this in the past, removing recent haddock-related patches would  
be a good thing to try.

A second issue is that the makefile generates this recursive frame  
when haddock fails, maybe it could do something more graceful as a  
fallback (like show the non-source-linked "make api-doc" output ?)
