Comment:
Was this announced in sage-devel? After rebasing branch I was working in
on the current develop sage suddenly wants to compile gcc because of this.
gcc 4.8 is the default version on Ubuntu 14.04 which is the current LTS
(not counting 16.04 which hasn't quite yet been released).
It seems extreme to me to blacklist an entire compiler when there's a
simple workaround (`-fno-tree-dominator-opts`) that can be applied only
for that version. As a compromise, perhaps issue a loud warning when the
workaround is used as it may affect performance, for anyone who cares. It
would only need to be enabled for those modules that need it.
