Issue building with ghc-9.8.2 and packages unix, directory, filepath and os-string

Hi,

I'm trying to get my program to compile with ghc-9.8.2. Raising the
upper bounds of my dependencies I'm running into a compile error
for the unix-2.8.5.1 package:

[15 of 53] Compiling System.Posix.Env.PosixString ( /home/dan/sources/unix-2.8.5.1/dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-9.8.2/unix-2.8.5.1/build/System/Posix/Env/PosixString.hs, /home/dan/sources/unix-2.8.5.1/dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-9.8.2/unix-2.8.5.1/build/System/Posix/Env/PosixString.o, /home/dan/sources/unix-2.8.5.1/dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-9.8.2/unix-2.8.5.1/build/System/Posix/Env/PosixString.dyn_o )

I can get rid of this compile error and a similar one for the directory
package by setting the flag os-string in my cabal.project file:
   constraints: unix +os-string, directory +os-string

Now I'm wondering what is the right way to handle this case?
Thanks for any hints!

Greetings,
Daniel
