Phoeonix.com is reporting that Linus has found a code generation

The bug existed from 4.5.0 up, so switching back to 4.8 is a weird
solution.
Since Fedora has been including 4.9 in F21 for some time,
one would like to know which compiler is used for compiling F21.
This bug is fixed in gcc-4.9.1-2.fc{21,22} already, and given that it has
been reported only after a few years since the bug has been introduced, it
is not very likely to trigger on other code.
Caould some of the strange problems I've seen with F21 be
caused by GCC 2.9 code generation error(s)???
Have you filed bugs if you suspect gcc problems?
