[Bug 1800197] Re: SRU: update gcc-6 to the final GCC 6.5.0 release

[Brian Murray]

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gcc-6 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-6/6.5.0-2ubuntu1~18.04 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

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

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  update gcc-6 to the final GCC 6.5.0 release. GCC 6.5.0 is the last
  upstream release taken from the gcc-6 branch. Backport it to bionic
  (and we have to backport it to cosmic as well), to make the latest
  version available.

  Acceptance criteria:  The package builds on all architectures and the
  testsuite doesn't show regressions compared to the earlier gcc-6
  uploads to the distro.

  Regression potential: There is potential in adding new regressions
  with compiler updates, however this is the last version from the
  upstream branch, so I don't expect many of them.  gcc-6 is not used
  for package building, so no package build is affected by the update,
  and shared libraries are provided by newer GCC versions.

  For the cross compilers, the packages should just build.
