chromium 38 is currently planning to drop support for all compilers less than gcc 4.8 (and all clang not built against >= gcc 4.8). So wheezy will soon have no way to compile an up to date chromium. In order to continue providing security updates for chromium in wheezy, I would like to propose a gcc wheezy-pu. I haven't tried to get this working yet, and am sending this to see whether the release team would even consider this. The alternative is to drop chromium security support for wheezy way too soon. I'm proposing gcc 4.9 to hedge against future upstream compiler requirements, but gcc 4.8 would also be an option.
