--- Comment #43 from John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz at physik dot fu-berlin.de> --- (In reply to John Paul Adrian Glaubitz from comment #42) > Cross your fingers ;). 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
