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.
