Bug Description
The aim is to update gccgo-6 to the final release 6.1 in 16.04 with two steps:
- update to the 6.1 release candidate 1 (6.0.1) before releae
- update to 6.1.0 in xenial-
Compared to the version in xenial (20160405), there are no source changes in libgcc, libgo and gcc/go. During this stage gcc upstream was in stage4, and only saw regression fixes.
In main, libgcc (built by gccgo-6) is used on every architecture, gccgo is only used on powerpc. The package was test-built in a ppa on all architectures, not showing regressions in it's testsuite. Installing these packages on a amd64 desktop works fine, the system survives a reboot and continues to work as expected.
Looks reasonableish to me. Accepting.
