Hey Matthew, Thank you so very much for fixing this and my apologies for not following up on the issue.
I was planning to file an issue with a PR, but got distracted with other things. My new AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT had arrived in the mail and while it's working fine with OpenBSD, I had to upgade the FreeBSD to 14-CURRENT to get it working there as well. Since I didn't feel good about filing any issue while using an unsupported developer preview version of the operating system, I had planned to install FreeBSD 13.1 in some AWS instance for testing, but then got too busy with OpenBSD. GHC 9.2.7 works great on OpenBSD - I just had two minor issues to get it to compile, I'll file an issue and a PR for that shortly.
