oops, you;re quite right. i fell for the same bug as in "Compiling from
source does not work" from the mailing list archive.
this was in the gmake boot output
../../happy/src/happy +RTS -K2m -H10m -RTS -1.2 -g rename/ParseIface.y
gmake[2]: execve: ../../happy/src/happy: No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [rename/ParseIface.hs] Error 127
