Could you submit it to BTS?
It needs some architecture test especially ia64/ppc after we apply the
latest glibc patch in -14. However, it is occured in building glibc
with gcc > 3.1, so we simply avoid this problem not to use gcc > 3.1.
gcc-defaults does not use gcc 3.1 on any architectures. Currently it's
potential bug, thus we don't need to take action ASAP... Is it right?
Well, we must be keeping our eye in this issue.
