Fixes #12233. To be frank, I'm not sure how the resulting dep bumps help people using or abusing the boostrap files (the intended purpose of the files is porting to new architectures, but some distros apparently build from that, too), but if this is not welcome, let's hope they tell us. In principle, this should work as in previous releases and nobody complained then.

Template B: This PR does not modify behaviour or interface

E.g. the PR only touches documentation or tests, does refactorings, etc.

Include the following checklist in your PR:

• Patches conform to the coding conventions.
• Is this a PR that fixes CI? If so, it will need to be backported to older cabal release branches (ask maintainers for directions).

It looks like something worth considering are we going to merge this?
