haskell.packages.ghc96.gi-gtk: Work around compiler issue

When building gi-gtk with ghc-9.6.1 and ghc-9.6.2 there are errors
like this:

  <no location info>: error:
  attempting to use module ‘gi-gtk-3.0.41-DcfU7A0rbDCAyPkJQEwKC:GI.Gtk.Interfaces.Buildable’ (./GI/Gtk/Interfaces/Buildable.hs) which is not loaded

The errors can be avoided by using -j1, which is unfortunate for
gi-gtk because it has 708 modules to build.

The ghc gitlab issue is: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23392
