Sorry not to have been searching (or finding!) the existing bug reports on the
topic! And thanks for reading my not-too-informative descriptions of my
experiences on this list.
I've actually been trying to build gcc 4.9 rather than 4.8 in the way
described because it looked like 4.9 may be getting updates a bit more
frequently than 4.8, but perhaps they both should be buildable in this way.
