Disable `-fasm-shortcutting` on -O2 and warn about its usage.
This flag is known to result in unsound optimisations potentially resulting in
incorrect runtime behaviour (#24507).

+Version 9.6.5
+==============

+
+Significant Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Issues fixed in this release include:
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+- Disable ``-fasm-shortcutting`` with ``-O2`` as it leads to unsound optimisations
+ (:ghc-ticket:`24462).
+- Fix a typechecker bug resulting in ``TYPE`` and ``CONSTRAINT`` being apart
+ (:ghc-ticket:`24279`).
+- Fix a bug resulting in incorrect runtime results due to a botched simplifier
+ pass (:ghc-ticket:`24295`).
+- Assign correct source spans to nested documentation comments in the AST (:ghc-ticket:`24378`).
+- Fix a bug causing suboptimal error messages for certain invalid cyclic
+ module graphs with hs-boot files (:ghc-ticket:`24196`, :ghc-ticket:`24275`).
+- Fix a bug resulting in infix ``(~)`` and ``(@)`` operators not being usable in
+ TH quotes (:ghc-ticket:`23748`).
+- Fix a bug arising from incorrect parsing of paths containing spaces in the
+ settings file (:ghc-ticket:`24265`).
+- Allow special pragmas to desugar correctly in a few more cases (:ghc-ticket:`24370`).
+
+Runtime system
+--------------
+
+- Fix an off-by-one while writing eventlogs (:ghc-ticket:`24287`).
+- Avoid segfaults with using ``-Dn`` with the non-moving collector (:ghc-ticket:`24393`).
+
+Build system and packaging
+--------------------------
+
+- Fix a bug resulting in the distributed ``hsc2hs`` wrapper using flags from the
+ compiler build environment (:ghc-ticket:`24050`).
+- Better compatibility for newer alex versions in the configure script (:ghc-ticket:`24302`).
+- Handle autotools adding the ``-std`` flag to the ``CC``/``CXX`` variables (:ghc-ticket:`24324`).
+- Fix a typo in the configure script resulting in the target for the linker being set incorrectly
+ when configuring a cross-compiler (:ghc-ticket:`24414`).
+- Do not override existing linker flags in ``FP_LD_NO_FIXUP_CHAINS``.
+- Ensure the ``genapply`` program is built with the write constants when cross compiling (:ghc-ticket:`24347`).
+- Ensure we take ``LDFLAGS`` into account when configuring a linker (:ghc-ticket:`24565`).
+- Fix a segfault with the non-moving GC (:ghc-ticket:`24492`).
+
+Core libraries
+--------------
+
+- Bump ``base`` to 4.18.2.1
+- Bump ``filepath`` to 1.4.300.1
+- Bump ``directory`` to 1.3.8.3
+- Bump ``process`` to 1.6.19.0
+- Bump ``libffi-tarballs`` to 3.4.6
