Vanilla GCC 4.5.3 also has this source incompatible interface change in
avxintrin.h. But, and this is very important, it has a different
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__. Thus, code can use the correct interface with a
simple #ifdef. Therefore, I consider the change in GCC 4.5.3 bad, but
ok. (IMHO a source incompatible change should not have happened in a
patch release of GCC.)

All I'm trying to do, is to revert this one source incompatible change to 
avxintrin.h in the Ubuntu GCC. I'm now trying a different approach. I want to 
keep the patches in debian/patches unchanged but add another patch that reverts 
the problematic part of gcc-linaro.diff. This should be the patch:
svn diff -c -168900 svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_5-branch

But it doesn't apply right away. If you can help me get this into the
set of patches (or removed from gcc-linaro.diff), that'd be great.
