Details

Updated GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) packages that fix an Itanium unwind
information bug for calls to noreturn functions are now available.

The gcc packages include C, C++, Java, Fortran 77 and Objective C
GNU compilers and related support libraries.

The Itanium unwind ABI does not allow the last instruction in a routine to
be a function call, but GCC did not check for this behavior. Therefore, the
returned call fails only if the unwind info is looked up (exception
throwing, pthread_exit, or backtrace) in the routine. In these updated
packages, GCC now inserts a dummy instruction after the call if it ends up
being the last instruction in the routine.

All users of gcc should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.
