Comment (by fweimer):
The GCC bug is
[[https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61801|PR61801]],
[[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1120473|bz1120473]] (filed
against `glibc`, but it was fixed in `gcc-4.9.1-2`). This bug is known to
result in miscompilation of the kernel and `glibc`, and other users of
inline assembly are likely to be affected, too. It was present in older
GCC versions, too, but it's much easier to trigger since 4.9. I'm worried
that the current level of testing is insufficient to reveal remaining
miscompilations in Fedora 21, hence the suggestion of a mass rebuild with
the GCC fix.
