I tried to build the gcc-4.8-4.8.2-20 and the build is broken. libstdc++ and lib64stdc++ are not build, neither are build libgcc1.
The last good build (with the missing libraries) is 4.8.2-16.
Something broken on -20 and -21.

Oh, I see what you're saying. I get lib64stdc++-dev / libstdc++-dev, but not the base lib64stdc++/libstdc++

And yeah, libgcc1 just isn't built, which is a major problem. Maybe we need to look at diffs in the "debian" directory.

Indeed, the last good build seems to be gcc-4.8-4.8.2-19.
Look at the changelog for the -20 they seems to have done something on the sparc that blocks the generation of the libraries.

Is there a direct way to view the changelog and/or diff from the web?

I found this url :

http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/g/gcc-4.8/gcc-4.8_4.8.2-21_changelog

Here's the entry I suspect for all our troubles:

gcc-4.8 (4.8.2-20) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update to SVN 20140423 (r209678) from the gcc-4_8-branch.
  * Explicitly configure with --disable-multilib on sparc64 when no
    multilibs are requested (Helmut Grohne). Closes: #743342.
  * Update powerpcspe patches for the branch (Helmut Grohne). Closes: #743718.
  * Remove more mudflap left overs. Addresses: #742606.
  * Adjust common_libs, libraries common to GCC 4.9.
  * Disable running the testsuite on kfreebsd, hangs the buildds.
  * Stop build packages built by GCC 4.9.
