>From the arm64 POV this is fine. I have found a few packages where
gcc-4.8 causes ICEs and gcc-4.9 fixes them. I don't have the resource
right now to do a full rebuild (as only ~half the archive is built once
so far) but in general I expect 4.9 to give less trouble than 4.8
except for things that are broken for all arches.

Did you try an arm64 rebuild with 4.9 in Ubuntu?
