Thanks Zubin. I found a small problem; hopefully it is unique to me:

Failed to detect LLVM version! Make sure LLVM is installed correctly. We will try though... <no location info>: error: LLVM Optimiser: could not execute:

Although llvm 21 is not supported my understanding is that it is supposed to try as it says above. I do have llvm installed:

opt --version Homebrew LLVM version 21.1.5 Optimized build. Default target: arm64-apple-darwin25.1.0 Host CPU: apple-m4 (base) gcolpitts@Mac haskell %

Plus configure also thinks I have it installed:

Suggestions?

The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability of the second release candidate for GHC 9.12.3. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at [downloads.haskell.org][] and via [GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/).

GHC 9.12.3 is a bug-fix release fixing several issues of a variety of severities and scopes. A full accounting of these fixes can be found in the [release notes][]. As always, GHC's release status, including planned future releases, can be found on the GHC Wiki [status][].

This release candidate will have a two-week testing period. If all goes well the final release will be available the week of 24 November 2025.

The changes from the first release candidate are

* Fix a regression resulting in a panic with empty cases (#26442, #25960). * Fix for a potential segfault in the bytecode interpreter (#23210). * Fix for a regression with tabs not being allowed in string gaps (#26415). * Fix for a crash with the non-moving GC (#26204). * A rework of how internal symbols used by the code-generator are handled to adapt to changes in the Apple toolchain, enabling this release to bootstrap on macOS 26 Tahoe (#26166).

GHC development is sponsored by:

* [Juspay](https://juspay.com/) * [QBayLogic](https://qbaylogic.com/) * [Channable](https://www.channable.com/) * [Haskell Foundation](https://haskell.foundation/) * [Serokell](https://serokell.io/) * [Well-Typed](https://well-typed.com/) * [Tweag](https://www.tweag.io/) * [Dotcom-Monitor](https://www.dotcom-monitor.com/) * [LoadView](https://www.loadview-testing.com/) * [Web Hosting Buddy](https://webhostingbuddy.com/) * [Find My Electric](https://www.findmyelectric.com/) * [Standard Chartered](https://www.sc.com) * [UpCloud](https://upcloud.com)

We would like to that these sponsors and other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years. Finally, this release would not have been possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work comprise this release.

As always, do give this release a try and open a [ticket][] if you see anything amiss.
