At this point you can either do 'make install stage=1', or you can just
use the compiler you built to build a clean GHC in another tree, i.e.
with ./configure --with-ghc=/path/to/bootstrap/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace.

I've never seen this one before - very odd.  You must have Alex in order
to process CmmLex.x into CmmLex.hs, or did you copy this from the host
tree?  I just checked and a copy of CmmLex.hs from my build tree doesn't
have any indented preprocessor directives.
