GCC is broken. German website www.heise.de proved new gcc can't compile SPEC suite. See gcc main mailing list. They're working on a fix.
Yeah, I have seen that. It is an x87 only bug so nothing too bad... (only a rated a P3 on the GCC tracker). I am keeping an eye out for the patch to be pushed.
Question: Is it safe to build regular packages except kernel/modules in testing with new toolchain and move them later to core/extra before the toolchain moves?
I built the kernel to test if the toolchain was good. I could still boot with the downgraded toolchain afterwards. So, it is likely to be safe.
