[Bug 1814369] [NEW] update toolchain packages for bionic

[Matthias Klose]

Public bug reported:


This is a follow-up to LP: #1769657. I'd like to update the toolchain packages in bionic, to state which we have in disco in Junuary 2019:

 - gcc-8, update to the current gcc-8 branch
 - gcc-7, updates to the gcc-7.4.0 release
 - corresponding gcc-cross packages

The package builds are prepared in
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

[Impact]
Provide an upstream release for GCC 7, and update GCC 8 fixes to the
current state of the gcc-8 branch.

[Regression Potential]
There is regression potential, however with a test rebuild of the complete archive no regressions were found.

[Test Case]
No regressions in the GCC test suite, and no regressions in the test
rebuild of the main component of the archive (all architectures)

As a test, a complete archive rebuild was performed, and no regressions
were found with this new package. The archive rebuild also contained
updated versions of OpenJDK, OPenSSL, gcc-7, gcc-8, python3.6 and
python3.7. The OpenJDK, OpenSSL, GCC and Python packages should not
infer with each other.

[Validation]
Analyze the build logs for regressions.
For the cross builds, just make sure that the packages build using
the updated sources.

Summary of the test rebuilds:

http://people.canonical.com/~doko/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20181222-test-bionic.html

The first one is a reference build, the second one the test rebuild with
the updated components.

No regressions attributed to GCC are shown with the test rebuild.
