There's currently an issue with Alex happy when they're built with clang cpp rather Than GCC cpp which some folks are trying to hammer out I think. I think it's a problem in Alex 3.1.2 but not 3.1.0.
Either way: assuming that bug gets sorted out, making sure Haskell platform has a fresher Alex / happy so that Haskell platform can be used to build ghc 7.8 would be a nice thing to have.
