** Description changed:

  an SRU issue to document the update of gcc-4.8 in trusty
+ 
+ 14.04 LTS saw two new architectures, arm64 and ppc64el. These require
+ some updates for the toolchain. binutils takes some selected patches to
+ fix specific issues, and gcc-4.8 takes the state of the current gcc-4.8
+ fsf branch to update the compiler.  Changes and addresses issues are
+ mentioned in the debian changelog.  Packages are prepared in the ubuntu-
+ toolchain-r/ppa PPA, and a test rebuild of the archive was done on all
+ architectures using this PPA. The results of this test rebuild look ok
+ (for all of the -release, -updates and -security pockets). As a further
+ test, the linux (see bug #1383474), firefox and libreoffice packages
+ were rebuilt, tested and found working.
+ 
+ The test rebuild archives are:
