There must be some makefile wrinkle here, then, as apparently the
fact that ghc-0.29 was (by default, even) being used wasn't detected,
as the Parser.hs being produced was certainly 1.3-ish, and I didn't
know how to override that behaviour. Mysterious Flag noted for future
reference, though...
Thanks to Jon and Juan, too, for their workarounds.
Apart from this setback, it compiles perfectly handily, I'm relieved
to say...
Slainte,
