Hello Steve, or anyone else affected, Accepted gcc-4.8 into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package.

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-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.
