A minor update. This patch does not affect runtime, but switching from gcc 
4.9.1 to 5.1.0 actually slows gem5 down by 4% on average (at least on the two 
hosts I've run the regressions). The 4% is the increase in the total regression 
CPU times, but the impact seems to be roughly the same across the board.
