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.
