Re: Current and upcoming toolchain changes for jessie

[Stephan Schreiber <info@fs-driver.org>]

GCC-4.8 should become the default on ia64 soon; some other changes are  
desirable:
- The transition of gcc-4.8/libgcc1 to libunwind8.
- A removal of the libunwind7 dependency of around 4600 packages on  
ia64 - when they are updated next time after the transition. The  
libc6.1 should (likely) depend on libunwind8 after that in order to  
guarantee that libunwind8 is installed.
