Without the change the eval fails as:

$ nix build --no-link -f. haskell.packages.ghc865Binary.exceptions
error: attribute 'exceptions_0_10_7' missing
       at pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-ghc-8.6.x.nix:98:16:
           97|   # This became a core library in ghc 8.10., so we don’t have an "exception" attribute anymore.
           98|   exceptions = self.exceptions_0_10_7;
             |                ^
           99|
       Did you mean exceptions_0_10_8?
