There are bugs being fixed both on the gcc side and on the side of packages,
I think it is too early for the final mass rebuild, but gcc should be ready
for that in a short time. For the gcc side of bugfixing it doesn't help
that there is a huge delay due to extremely underpowered armv7hl builders
- what builds in 4 hours or less on all other primary and secondary
architectures builds for 18 or more hours on armv7hl.
Also, a releng mass rebuild, which I believe is a random package order,
would very likely not help very much, due to the ABI changes one needs to
rebuild the packages in topological order, non-C++ packages or C++ packages
that nothing C++ depends on of course can be left for the mass rebuild, but
ideally the rest should be rebuilt manually before the mass rebuild.
