./configure doesn't check that apparently at least GHC-9.0 is required too bootstrap

Might be issue in bytestring though:

libraries/bytestring/Data/ByteString/Internal.hs:277:23: error:
    • Couldn't match type ‘m’ with ‘TH.Q’
      ‘m’ is a rigid type variable bound by
        the type signature for:
          TH.lift :: forall (m :: * -> *).
                     TH.Quote m =>
                     ByteString -> m TH.Exp
        at libraries/bytestring/Data/ByteString/Internal.hs:277:3-6
      Expected type: m TH.Exp
        Actual type: TH.Q TH.Exp

EDIT: the code in bytestring is

#if MIN_VERSION_template_haskell(2,16,0)
  lift (BS ptr len) = [| unsafePackLenLiteral |]
    `TH.appE` TH.litE (TH.integerL (fromIntegral len))
    `TH.appE` TH.litE (TH.BytesPrimL $ TH.Bytes ptr 0 (fromIntegral len))

And that is not entirely correct CPP as what TH-splices return is GHC dependent, but OTOH template-haskell and GHC versions are tied everywhere else than when bootstrapping GHC, so I won't blame bytestring. Easier to require more recent GHC for bootstrap.
