Suggestion: Maybe you should check how the package is built before
filing a bug like this?

All gcc packages run through make check during the build process. I've
built quite a lot of stuff with this new gcc already, maybe your problem
is elsewhere? (xfs comes to mind...)

or if you still think this is a gcc problem, at least post a test
case...
