Would you update the current status of this issue?

For example I checked the current status of ruby-gnome2 (because
I was going to upgrade ruby-gnome2 on F-14) and
- still the latest ruby-gnome2 on F-14 is ruby-gnome2-0.90.2-1.fc14
- this one uses the problematic gcc
- while it seemed that ruby-gnome2 was rebuilt against newer gcc
   (with EVR: ruby-gnome2-0.90.2-1.fc14.1), this new ruby-gnome2 was
   never pushed into dist-f14 or submitted on bodhi.

So are there any list file which suggests what packages still need
repush (after rebuild or update) for this gcc issue?

Mamoru
