Most of the bugs filed on the gcc 4.8 tracker so far have been caused by packages being built with -Werror. I just noticed one package where the Makefile was being patched to remove -g from CXXFLAGS but -Werror on the same line was left in. Just in case people weren't aware, building with -Werror is a bad idea and against policy*. If you're fixing one of these bugs by silencing the warning be sure to remove the flag also.
