Sorry, I read the build log incorrectly in comment #3. krb5 in utopic amd64 was actually compiled against gcc-4.8 4.8.3-4ubuntu2. So the belief may still be valid.
(I was misled because the metapackage gcc 4:4.9.0-3ubuntu5 actually installed a symlink to gcc-4.8, despite the version number.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1347147 Title: krb5 database propagation enters infinite loop Status in “krb5” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In some conditions, propagating a kerberos database to a slave KDC server can stall. This is due to a misoptimization by gcc 4.8 of the CIRCLEQ famliy of macros, apparently due to overzealous strict aliasing deductions. One case of this stall is reported at http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/2014-July/020007.html (and the rest of the thread), and there is an entry in the upstream bugtracker at http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=7860 . gcc 4.9 (as used in Debian unstable at present) is not believed to induce this problem. Upstream has patched their code to use the TAILQ family of macros instead, as a workaround, but that workaround has not yet appeared in an upstream release: https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/26d8744129 Because of the different compiler versions used on Debian and Ubuntu, I am filing this as an Ubuntu-specific bug.
