Possible ghc-9.8.1 configuration error

[rkaippully]

Describe the bug

On e1fa12d, ghc981.ghcWithPackages seems to be broken.

Steps To Reproduce

$ nix-shell -I nixpkgs=./. -p 'haskell.packages.ghc981.ghcWithPackages (p: [p.double-conversion])'
error:
       … while calling the 'derivationStrict' builtin

       … while evaluating derivation 'shell'

        91531|      , system-cxx-std-lib, test-framework, test-framework-hunit

Additional context

I noticed that pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-ghc-<version>.nix contains system-cxx-std-lib = null; for all versions except 9.8.x. Is that intentional or a bug?

[SFrijters]

I encountered the same issue, but I think it should be fixed on master now via #272097 .

[rkaippully]

Thank you @SFrijters. Closing this.

What was the solution to this issue? Today I just ran into this error:
