Please note that we are not asking a new mass rebuild, just that the current F43 mass rebuild continue as planned.

• Describe the issue

  • We are requesting a mass rebuild for the toolchain update to the latest gcc, binutils, glibc and gdb.

• When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

  • By the mass rebuild scheduled date (2025-07-23)

• When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

  • After the mass rebuild is complete (2025-07-23)

• If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

  • gcc 15.2, binutils 2.45, glibc 2.42, gdb 17.1 would still be a part of F43, but some packages would not have been built against the updated components and may fail to build at a later date or require additional work to integrate correctly into GA.

Notes:

• glibc has been doing weekly rawhide rebases from upstream for the last 6 months as usual and fixing integration issues as they arise.
• binutils has been doing weekly rawhide rebases from upstream for the last 6 months and fixing integration issues as they arise.
• gcc 15.2 is a point release and should not contain any high risk items.
• gdb 17.1 is a new release but will only impact debuginfo modifications during the build.
