I think the test case should also include "-mcpu=vulcan" with the new version to ensure that the backwards compatibility does in fact still work.

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gcc-5 into artful-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-5/5.5.0-1ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-artful to verification-done-artful. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-artful. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.
