Bug#712704: gcc-4.8: Cannot find plugin 'liblto_plugin.so'

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

Package: gcc-4.8
Version: 4.8.1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

on my mixed jessie/sid team I enjoy the version 4.8.1 of gcc. The
C-compiler works fine. Thanks very much for the good work.

I just noticed that calling either gcc-ar-4.8, gcc-nm-4.8, or
gcc-ranlib-4.8 with the switch "-h" aborts with the message

   Cannot find plugin 'liblto_plugin.so'

although I verified that
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/liblto_plugin.so
from the package cpp-4.8 is present on my system as a dependency of
gcc-4.8, the same constellation as with gcc 4.7 where these programs
work correctly.

Best regards,

Jörg-Volker.
