libgcc1 updates: libgcc1 had been in use in utopic and vivid without problems. It doesn't add any new functionality, no symbols are removed or added.

looking at the upstream changelog, changes only include bug fixes or slight enhancements. Attached are the changes which affect our release architectures:

comparing the testsuite runs with the released version, and the proposed version, there are no regressions seen for all builds. The juju-core package was test built using the proposed version.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Hello Dave, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gccgo-4.9 into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gccgo-4.9/4.9.3-0ubuntu4 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 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 to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

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