I wish I could do the latter, but unfortunately not all Haskell packages 
are buildable with 2 major versions of GHC at the same time (most are, 
but there are a few exceptions).

Alternatively, I think I can patch GHC 9.4 so that it won't use timerfd. 
It appears to be an optional feature after all; if its ./configure 
doesn't find timerfd it won't use it. Let me try that.
