Migrating to the Hadrian build system from Make fixes this, but this also means a rebuild of the Haskell stack plus a small change to the Haskell ypkg macro.

Appears to be this issue which indicates that it's not possible to build ghc 9.2.x with 9.2.x using the make build system. It was never fixed upstream because they removed the make build system in 9.4.x. It should be possible to re-bootstrap with 8.10, which could be a temporary solution until we move to a later version.

I figured out the issue, this issue additionally requires a change in the YPKG Haskell macros. Currently building the stack to see if anything blows up.
