I resolved this by just bumping our submodule to latest HEAD in the repo (which was taken by upstream.) Edward Excerpts from Edward Z. Yang's message of 2016-12-17 21:45:20 -0800:
Hi all,
I'd like to push the following patch (see bottom of email) to GHC's time repository, but I do not seem to have permissions. Upstream has already taken the fix but the version we currently have in the repo is quite a bit older than upstream.
Can someone do it for me / give me bits? Thanks.

commit 44c23839f964592946c889626f8acbd1f4f72e55 Author: Edward Z. Yang
Date: Sat Dec 17 20:05:11 2016 -0800 Remove useless internal library version bounds.
These bounds never do anything, and in Cabal HEAD cause errors which cause GHC's build system to choke.
