Thank you Matt for being strict

This kind of issue have bitten me in the past e.g.
- https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/22450
- https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/22245

So I really welcome the change in policy

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.

Cheers,

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.

Cheers,
