Btw, could building the fixed gcc-4.9 with a compiler affected by this
particular bug still propagate the problem? Or, asking the other way around:
Should the latest package version rather be built with an older, unaffected gcc
version?

I'm asking because I am worried the current compiler might generate another
broken gcc. On the other hand, it's also not that trivial to downgrade the
compiler in the build root, albeit it is possible. It just involves lots of
manual work.

Or is the bootstrap process with its 3 stages enough to mitigate such problems?

Adrian
