Failed to install haskell-src-exts-1.16.0 on OSX 10.9.5

Question

My env:

• ghc 7.8.3 from http://ghcformacosx.github.io/
• OSX 10.9.5
• cabal 1.20.0.3 (directly from ghc for mac osx)

I did cabal install alex and cabal install happy. cabal binary path was confirmed to be added to my $PATH as $(HOME)/Library/Haskell/bin/.

cabal install haskell-src-exts emitted the following compiling error:

It seems to be known issue. If I understand it correctly, you just need to update happy

ADD: Here is detailed description of the issue
