I assume that Matthias was referring to the fact that gcc-4.9 currently builds libstc++6, lib*gcc1, fixincludes and so on.

That would only happen if gcc-defaults were changed to default to the new package and the release team somehow ok'd binnmus of a bunch of stable packages, which is rather unlikely, right? > What you might want to do is to package the current 4.9 as a > gcc-snapshot package, and use this one, probably with static libgcc and > libstdc++. Isn't -snapshot meant to indicate experimental versions? The plan is more to do an exact backport of the current gcc 4.9 package in testing.

What you might want to do is to package the current 4.9 as a gcc-snapshot package, and use this one, probably with static libgcc and libstdc++.

Actually, the /point release/ is in about a week. The advertised window for getting updates in to it closes this weekend.

Bug#763278: gcc 4.9 wheezy-pu?
Hi, I would like to ask for your opinion about uploading a newer gcc version to wheezy? This is to be able to continue building chromium security updates, which has been discussed with the release team [0]. They've requested that I discuss it with gcc maintainers, which is the reason for this message. I would be responsible for building and maintaining it. Anyway, any thoughts? Note that the window for the next stable update is closing in about a week, so there isn't a lot of time.
