Hi,

this bug makes haskell-glut FTBFS and is forwarded upstream as
http://trac.haskell.org/haddock/ticket/194, this is just for reference:

Hi,

this is Haddock version 2.10.0 as shipped with GHC 7.4.1. The package
GLUT-2.1.2.1 contains FFI code that GHC warns about, but haddock fails:

        [ 9 of 21] Compiling Graphics.UI.GLUT.Window ( 
Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.hs, dist-ghc/build/Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.o )

        Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.hs:113:1:
            Warning: newtype `Window' is used in an FFI declaration,
                     but its constructor is not in scope.
                     This will become an error in GHC 7.6.1.
            When checking declaration:
              foreign import ccall unsafe ""static glutCreateWindow"" 
glutCreateWindow
                :: CString -> IO Window
vs.

        Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.hs:113:1:
            Unacceptable result type in foreign declaration: IO Window
            When checking declaration:
              foreign import ccall unsafe ""static glutCreateWindow"" 
glutCreateWindow
                :: CString -> IO Window

But something is fishy, the [..] part contains a few of the Warning: newtype
`CInt' is used in an FFI declaration, warnings, so maybe something else is
amiss here.
