New description:

 I installed Happy with:


 {{{
 cabal new-install --symlink-bindir=~/Software/ghc-8.6.3/bin  happy
 }}}

 where  `~/Software/ghc-8.6.3/bin` is in my PATH.

 When I run `hadrian/build.sh -c --flavour=devel2` I get the following
 error:


 {{{
 happy: /home/roland/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.6.3/happy-1.19.9
 /HappyTemplate-arrays-coerce: openFile: does not exist (No such file or
 directory)
 }}}

 It's correct, I don't have a file `.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-
 ghc-8.6.3/happy-1.19.9/HappyTemplate-arrays-coerce`.

 However I have a file
 `.cabal/store/ghc-8.6.3/happy-1.19.9-84db80555b9a8f54be2ca475bccbc751401ffbff30194c8c26d08a002a665431/share
 /HappyTemplate-arrays-coerce`.

 If I do an old-fashioned `cabal v1-install happy`, it creates the missing
 file `.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.6.3/happy-1.19.9/HappyTemplate-
 arrays-coerce` and Hadrian is now able to build!


 Hadrian should not depend on old-style cabal installs!
