 - Fixed Microsoft calling convention when returning classes that have a deleted
   copy assignment operator. Such a class should be returned indirectly.
 
+- Removed the global alias that was pointing to AArch64 Function Multiversioning
+  ifuncs. Its purpose was to preserve backwards compatibility when the ".ifunc"
+  suffix got removed from the name mangling. The alias interacts badly with
+  GlobalOpt (see the issue #96197).
+  
 - Fixed Microsoft name mangling for auto non-type template arguments of pointer
   type for MSVC 1920+. This change resolves incompatibilities with code compiled
   by MSVC 1920+ but will introduce incompatibilities with code compiled by
   earlier versions of Clang unless such code is built with the compiler option
   `-fms-compatibility-version=19.14` to imitate the MSVC 1914 mangling behavior.
