Mac CPP problem with ghc-clang-wrapper

Hi,

under mavericks using the ghc-clang-wrapper (ghc-7.6) or using 
ghc-7.8.20140130 I can no longer install the HaXml package.

The source line:
    putStrLn $ "part of HaXml-"++show MAJOR.MINOR

seems to put spaces around the decimal point between MAJOR and MINOR and 
fails as shown below.

Is this already a known problem?

Cheers Christian
