Description Kristoffer Grundström 2017-10-05 22:47:42 CEST

Description of problem: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.2

I see we have it in Cauldron already. Who can push it to Mageia 6 for me?

We don't do version updates for stable releases unless there's a real reason to do it:

Also, gcc is a major core component and updating it would mean a full distro rebuild.
