Title:
  Add amd64/i386 support

Status in gcc-4.8 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gcc-4.8 source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  To mitigate Spectre Variant 2, gcc needs to have retpoline support
  (-mindirect-branch and -mfunction-return arguments on amd64 and i386).

  Packages with this will go into the proposed pockets but need to be
  published in the -security pockets for their respective releases.
