The GHC development team is pleased to announce the first (and likely final) release candidate of GHC 8.4.1. The usual release artifacts are available from
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.1-rc1
This release will likely be the last release before the final 8.4.1 release, which, if things go well, will be released one week from today.
It has come to my attention that the fix for #14675 has broken `configure`'s `--disable-ld-override` flag. I have a fix [1] which will be applied to the final release. In the meantime, if you need to use this flag please define the `LD_NO_GOLD` environment variable to point to a non-gold linker when invoking `configure`. For instance, ./configure --disable-ld-override LD_NO_GOLD=ld.bfd Cheers, - Ben [1] https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4448
