Please note that if a build has an issue installing 100%, then the
reporter should not proceed with a test.

I thought that I observed a totally successful install of the 4.5 kernel
image and headers yesterday but I missed seeing that the make of bcmwl
failed to make even though the installation was successful according to
the final state of the repository:

ii  linux-headers-4.5.0-040500              4.5.0-040500.20160314013 all        
              Header files related to Linux kernel version 4.5.0
ii  linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic      4.5.0-040500.20160314013 amd64      
              Linux kernel headers for version 4.5.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-4.5.0-040500-generic        4.5.0-040500.20160314013 amd64      
              Linux kernel image for version 4.5.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

Logs are attached in a tar.gz file.  Specifically, gcc version
4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6 (up-to-date for 14.04.04) flagged the make of bcmwl as
follows:

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-4.5.0-040500-generic'

It looks like I would need (at least) an upstream `gcc` to match this
kernel.  Who knows what else?  This might be like peeling an onion.

Keep in mind that my work-around described above is solid.  Being a
developer, I understand that the kernel developers need to prioritize
their time and effort.  If the kernel development team would be more
comfortable with my retesting under 16.04 (would make sense!), then I
can wait until this machine is available for an upgrade in, roughly, one
month.
