ok, that is something we should fix. My worry is that the backport as is will
need everyone to update their local.conf since the class will no longer be there
and it will throw errors if people try and include it. This isn't what people
expect from a point release.

Could we just remove it from local.conf in hardknott? That should solve the
issue but reduce risk to anyone who has hardknott already working fine with an
older gcc.

Cheers,

Richard
