Bug description:
  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:
  http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20140911-trusty.html
  http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20140912-trusty.html
  http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20140913-trusty.html

  gcc-4.8 should be built with the new binutils.
