Comment (by SiggyF):

 It might be related to this change, as part of #71821:
 [changeset:3935297d2ea367ecb36aa163c446beb21e4d81fd/macports-ports commit
 3935297]

 If I read it correct ghc is needed to build alex, alex is needed to build
 ghc. So a bootstrapping approach is needed (common in compiling a
 compiler). So you can use the ghc-prebuilt to build alex before you build
 ghc. However ghc-prebuilt is installed as `/opt/local/bin/ghc-prebuilt`
 and it is looking for `/opt/local/bin/ghc`.

 I am not sure how to solve this.
