Firstly, discussion about the development versions of GHC usually take
place on cvs-ghc at haskell.org rather than here (to avoid confusion).
The CVS HEAD currently requires Happy 1.14, which hasn't been released
yet. It is available in the source tree (fptools/happy), so to build
the CVS HEAD you currently also need to either:
(a) check out fptools/happy and use --enable-src-tree-happy when
configuring GHC.
(b) Build & install Happy separately from CVS
Cheers,
