James Clarke (CC'ed) has suggested to use these defines for bootstrapping 8.6.5:

In includes/rts/storage/ClosureTypes.h, it should be sufficient to add:

#define MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN0 MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN_DIRTY
#define MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN_CLEAN

#define SMALL_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN0 SMALL_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN_DIRTY
#define SMALL_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN SMALL_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN_CLEAN

and for rts/RtsSymbols.c, we need to do something similar although I'm not sure
that #defines would work here. Either way, we need to temporarily get the
symbols stg_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN_info, stg_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN0_info,
stg_SMALL_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN_info and stg_SMALL_MUT_ARR_PTRS_FROZEN0_info
back to bootstrap GHC 8.6.5 for unregisterised.
