Upcoming GHC 9.4.8 release

[Kazu Yamamoto (=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCOzNLXE9CSScbKEI=?=)]

Hello,

Thank you for your effort.

How can I confirm that fix for #23746 is included in GHC 9.4.8?
Without this, I cannot take profile on M1 mac.
I'm now taking profile on a remote Linux machine.
It's very inconvenient.
