GCC 4.9 is broke, we should take action

This means we should change 4.9 to 4.8.3 or 4.7.4 in the official repositories. And we should also analyze and think about what packages has been built with GCC 4.9, and replace these as well! Let's not corrupt the arch package base even further, let's roll back while not all packages are borked.

EDIT: Sorry, it seems to have allready been fixed in GCC ,and it seems like it only affects people who've compiled their kernel with -Os

If you think the compiler suite Arch uses has some serious issues, you should send the info to the mailing list (but doublecheck if it hasn't been fixed, hasn't been reported already, isn't on a todo list etc.).

Please remember to mark the thread as solved https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309

Well, given we do not use -Os for any of our packages, I am in no rush to backport the fix to our gcc package.

The sky is not falling. Linus sending a strongly worded email is not the end of the world, it is just another day of the week. Had you bothered to read even a few paragraphs of the email thread that was in, you would have seen the reply with the link to the bugzilla report, and then followed that link to see the bug has been marked resolved.

Please feel free to ask questions when such concerns are unclear - but we can do without the FUD.

I'll just drop this here and see how it turns out:

I hope we don't ignore this, since it probably concerns all of us!

There is already a topic on this here.

Please search before posting.

Sorry for not doing that, but still, isn't this the right place for the topic?

Merging...

Debatable. You posted in the Kernel section, but this isn't a kernel bug, nor does it exclusively affect the kernel. I'd have put it in GNU discussion, but as Arch has adopted gcc 4.9, Packaging discussion is a pretty good place.
