### Please describe the problem.

Building the latest version from source, whatever method I use eventually fails on the language-javascript-0.7.1.0 dependency. The error (stack output) below.



### What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install ghc 8.10.7 via ghcup
2. Check out latest source
3. Issue any of the supported build commands, watch the failure eventually happen

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

git master (tag 8.20211123 has the same issue)

### Please provide any additional information below.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Yes, it's wonderful.
