That has risks that simply turning the crank on a rebuild doesn't.
The hack also has no benefit, while turning the crank probably
fixes bugs you didn't know you had (with a gcc update first
obviously).


This is the second time someone's hinted that "hey, you might want to
rebuild anyway, due to unspecified GCC changes".  Pretty sure that if
you want to use that as an argument for rebuilding the world, a pointer
to these supposed issues would help.

I figured you or your team would be monitoring the upstream lists forthis stuff. I'm thinking specifically about the fixes for GCC BZ 59909which fixes a power8 bootstrap failure. The patch for that was checkedin about a week ago.
