Were these on an LFS system upgraded to GCC6 or on a fresh build? On my
fresh builds, I haven't noticed issues with any of the above (except PHP
and OpenJDK, which I haven't built). But that does not mean that they don't
exist. Should I upgrade one of my 5.x PCs to 6.x and try compiling my stuff
on there?

I agree that its a good idea.
