there is no package inside the distribution where this would break anything. For
the bootstrap you certainly can work around this by ignoring the conflicts. This
may be inconvenient, but I don't think this should be the reason for another RC
issue. How to build the cross compilers matching the native compilers is
discussed in other places, and from my point of view it was agreed not to just
continue the builds as done with 4.9. It is unfortunate that packages for 5 are
uploaded without giving any notice and without addressing these things first.
