I don't know. I'm not an expert on (e)gcc internals.

That is your priviledge as release manager. However, as a user and a
developer, I'd like to point out to you that this is a problem of the egcs
suite as a whole. As our current C++ compiler is the egcs one, you'd have to
remove it too (or switch back to the 2.7.2.3 one, which is a lot more
broken). As packages in main must be compilable using packages in main,
you'd have to remove all packages compiled with it. You would end up with
something that fits the release criteria, but which would be still-born.

My development station is a laptop with severe disk space constraints. I was
not in a position to check this. I did the part that required my attention,
and stuck to the "testing is parallelisable" paradigm.
I had every reason to assume it does (and it does as Phil confirmed), but I
did not feel like downloading libc6 in the middle of the night and build it
(due to the disk constraints, I'd had to have the gcc packages finished and
their source tree cleaned up before I could attempt building libc6).
So I didn't test it, which is why it says "should fix".
