 While configuring ghc @6.10.3_1 I got the [ticket:19737 happy error from
 #19737]. This points out a problem: ghc should not be using happy at
 configure time, because ghc does not declare a dependency on happy. There
 is no way ghc could declare a dependency on happy, since happy declares a
 dependency on ghc, and circular dependencies are not allowed.

 I was able to work around this by deactivating happy before trying to
 install ghc, but ghc should be fixed so this is not necessary.
