Comment 21 for bug 864618

Martin, my plan was to fix the issues that that patch tries to solve in g-c-c 3.2.1 and then completely remove this patch from the package. I could just fix a couple, since the others seemed a bit risky for a SRU, so the patch from Gunnar fixes this bug really for Oneiric users. There shouldn't be any impact for stable users, since we are getting the list of languages from another place anyway, so commenting out that call doesn't really affect much. My plan is to completely remove this Ubuntu-specific patch for Precise and, if possible, in a late SRU for Oneiric.

So, this should be safe, has been tested for a couple of weeks now. The 2 variables are initialized at the beginning of the function, so no problem with that.
