 Cabal HEAD has recently been somewhat broken
 (https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5318) and the current submodule
 is pointing to a buggy commit. This only manifests when installing `build-
 type: Custom` packages, because that uses the bad code from the bootstrap
 Cabal; `build-type: Simple` will use good code from the external `cabal-
 install` process.

 Please bump the Cabal submodule to fix this. I've verified that the
 observed problem (`happy` breaking) goes away when this is done.
