New description:

 When I try to build language-lua as found on Hackage with GHC 8.0.2-rc2 I
 get the following error. This package works with 8.0.1. I'm using the
 latest release of cabal-install/Cabal and alex-3.2.1

 {{{
 src/Language/Lua/Annotated/Lexer.x:149:14: error:
     • Can't find interface-file declaration for variable AlexTools.runA
         Probable cause: bug in .hi-boot file, or inconsistent .hi file
         Use -ddump-if-trace to get an idea of which file caused the error
     • In the expression:
         AlexTools.runA x_a28iM inp_a28iQ x_a28iK x_a28iL mode_a28iP
       In the expression:
         case
             AlexTools.runA x_a28iM inp_a28iQ x_a28iK x_a28iL mode_a28iP
         of {
           (mode'_a28iR, ts_a28iS)
             -> (ts_a28iS ++ (go_a28iO mode'_a28iR x_a28iK)) }
       In a case alternative:
           AlexToken x_a28iK x_a28iL x_a28iM
             -> case
                    AlexTools.runA x_a28iM inp_a28iQ x_a28iK x_a28iL
 mode_a28iP
                of {
                  (mode'_a28iR, ts_a28iS)
                    -> (ts_a28iS ++ (go_a28iO mode'_a28iR x_a28iK)) }
