You make no mention of what platform this is being built on or how.

As far as I'm aware, 8048214 is only an issue with gcc >= 5.0.0

No. The reason we have a release branch is so things are tested on HEAD
first before then being backported to it. They shouldn't be done at the
same time. Give the autobuilders a chance to run first.

The bug is assigned to me and being worked on. That should be clear
from a casual glance at the Bugzilla page. So all you need to do is employ
some patience.

As you will now see, the patch was pushed yesterday:

http://icedtea.classpath.org//hg/icedtea7-forest/hotspot?cmd=changeset;node=cb42e88f9787

once it had first been tested with gcc 5 to make sure it did actually
resolve the issue.
