> The fglrx driver is not compatible with gcc 5.x. This causes the

> systems, where intel is used).

> [Test Case]
> 1. Either install (or upgrade to) Ubuntu 15.10 and fglrx
> 2. Reboot
> 3. Check the display, and the output of the "dmesg | grep fglrx" command
> (to see the actual crash)

> Expected results: the system should be able to start X correctly.

> Actual results:
> The kernel module fails and X doesn't start.

> [Regression Potential]
> Low. Forcing fglrx to use gcc 4.9 is only a temporary workaround, and
> will be replaced with the proper fix once AMD makes it available.
