One last comment on gcc5. As you migrate packages to it, do pay particular attention to their test suites. There is no specific reason to expect regressions but the introduction of the Identical Code Folding (ICF) pass resulted in a major cleanup of the aliasing support in gcc. The result is that a lot more code is optimized than in previous releases and latent bugs have been smoked out by this (which is actually a good thing). The other change and enhancements are listed in....
