I've update the c++ news item for your consideration. I incorporated

Thanks, I think this is an improvement.
I'd still prefer an explicit mention that having gcc-4.7 and 4.8
installed simultaneously leads to known breakages, especially if 4.7 is
the active gcc version. The text of the news item implies this, but it's
just not obvious.
Also consider explicitly mentioning
<https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513386>. Obviously this
wouldn't be a complete list of issues, but from the CC list it's a
pretty common bug.
I agree, this bug is an example of the issues we'll have to face moving
forward with 4.8/4.9 and c++. I can reference it.
If in doubt, consider this question: what would be bad about including
the info I suggested above?
You don't need to convince me. Its a good example. There's no
particular reason I didn't mention it.

So I don't have to keep email the entire item to the list, how about
just adding it as follows:
"Nor is c++11 code compiled with gcc-4.7 ABI-compatible with c++11
compiled with 4.8, and vice versa. An example can be see in ref. [2]"
