Problems building HEAD on Mac OS X Mavericks/Xcode 5

Hi, I've hit a build failure when trying to build HEAD on Mavericks. I've logged a bug here with a lot of detail: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8528. When using alex 3.1.2, some of the generated files have spaces preceding preprocessor statements, while alex 3.1.0 doesn't do this. I guess this is possibly an alex bug, but this is my first time building GHC so I'm not really sure how the ecosystem works :) Huge shout-out to Carter S. for giving me a ton of help in nailing down this issue! - Nick

Hi,
Sound similar to an issue I've run into. There is some additional
information here:
https://github.com/simonmar/alex/pull/33#issuecomment-27543618
This appears to occur in both happy and alex.
Cheers,
Corey
