** Description changed:

  I'd like to update the toolchain packages in bionic, to state which we
  have in cosmic on May 07:
  
   - LP: #1771635: binutils updates from the branch
   - gcc-8, update to the final 8.1.0 release
   - gcc-7, updates to the gcc-7-branch up to the time of the
     8.1.0 release.
   - gcc-defaults to bump the 8.1 version, and add some provides
   - build-essential to add cross packages for amd64 and i386
   - corresponding gcc-cross packages
  
  The package builds are prepared in
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
+ 
+ There is regression potential, however with a test rebuild of the main
+ portion of the archive no regressions were found.
+ 
+ As a test, a complete archive rebuild (main only) was performed, and no
+ regressions were found with this new package. The archive rebuild also
+ contained updated versions of gcc-7, gcc-8, binutils, python3.6 and
+ python3.7. The GCC and Python packages should not infer with each other.
+ 
+ Summary of the test rebuilds:
+ file:///home/ubuntu/ftbfs-report/production/test-rebuild-20180730-bionic.html
+

+ 
+ No regressions are shown with the test rebuild.
