Bug description:
[Impact]
With LP: #1814369, the toolchain packages have been updated in both cosmic
and bionic, but due to an error those packages were built in -proposed as any
regular SRU. For toolchain updates there exists a policy that those should be
always built against -security *only*, and then released to both -security and
-updates.
Since this is not the case with the current toolchain update, we need
to no-change rebuild all of the previously released toolchain packages
in a -security enabled devirt PPA, sync them to -proposed with
binaries and then release into the archives.
[Regression Potential]
As these are toolchain packages, there is always some regression potential.
These will be no-change rebuilds so in theory the risk should be low, but the
current versions of the packages have not been built against -security only
before. It is hard to say how any regressions could manifest themselves.
[Test Case]
Making sure there are no reported regressions in the GCC and binutils test
suites. Hopefully this will be sufficient.
