AFAIR, having this patch on master is your approval to backport it to a stable branch unless someone complains your patch is not stable enough. I suggest to wait for objections for at least a week before merging it. By the way, some distro maintainers have been backporting fixes for newer GCC releases, so I agree with you this patchset is indeed important. -- Tulio Magno
