GHC fails to build on 9.8.4 #59852

What?

As per an effort to update libffi to 3.5.2, I've had to revbump and rebuild GHC. Seemingly though, it can build fine but cannot install due to a theme error while building the documentation[1]. I assume we updated to a version of python3-Sphinx which broke GHC's documentation. This makes revbumping GHC not feasible which would be pretty bad in case of, say, libffi.

What can be done to solve this?

I assume that the best course of action is to update GHC, especially since 9.10.3 is now the latest LTS version, not 9.8.4[2]. This has proved to be a challenge as well however, as cabal is now needed to build GHC, at least through my own testing.
