Re: I can't build HEAD

The ticket which tracks bumping the bootstrap compiler to 9.4 is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23195 We should bump all the images and update the configure check *before* merging changes which require a newer bootstrap compiler. I imagine this problem has been introduced by https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/10827 so I will revert that commit for now until the relevant other parts have been updated.

Aha. I'll do that.

You have to admit, the error message is not helpful :-). A suggestion for the future: when bumping the minimum bootstrap compiler, it would be possible (in the same commit) to fix configure to complain about too-early versions?

Anyway I'm now building with 9.6, and doubtless that will be fine. Thanks.

Can anyone help?

Upgrade your bootstrap compiler to >= 9.4. We have now bumped HEAD's version to 9.8, which means that 9.4 is the earliest possible bootstrap compiler (which `text` now takes advantage of, as you see here). I have a patch bumping the `configure` check stewing in my 9.8 preparation branch.
