GHC release candidate

[Geoffrey Mainland]

I will try, but that's a bit tight for #11487---less than two weeks from
initial report to required fix, and I am teaching 3 courses this term.

Given that this bug has been dormant for 3.5 years, one might question
why it is suddenly of the "highest" priority :)

Cheers,
Geoff
