Great job!

I completely missed the fact this needs to be passes to the bindist's
configure script as well.

You need to edit debian/rules here
https://sources.debian.org/src/ghc/9.4.7-5/debian/rules/#L78
and add the following line as well:

+   EXTRA_INSTALL_CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --disable-ld-override

I will include that in the next upload. Do we still have to build an
unregisterised compiler for powerpc or can we switch back to NCG
(https://bugs.debian.org/1060196)?
