Hi Matthias,

Removing GCC 4.8 will need Linux kernel ABI transitions.

I haven't seen any discussion on the debian-kernel list, and the
latest of the Linux package (uploaded to sid this week) still has
it generating linux-compiler-* packages depending on gcc-4.8, so
I think the Linux maintainers are expecting GCC 4.8 to be in
Jessie.
