With a major new version such as 2.8.0, and with so many different
platforms supported by GCC, it is no surprise that once an official
release is made, quite a few of bugs are reported by people who try to
build and use it.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see much less complicated packages have
a bugfix release within days of a major version (the last releases of
`patch' and Make are cases in point).
