I wouldn't run it on production system, or when you need crossdev with
4.9.2. If you're on Hardened or some less common system, I wouldn't try
it as the primary compiler. Also, best if you have a backup gcc or
binary package you can downgrade to (quickpkg --include-configs=y gcc).

That said, I'm running it on all my ~amd64 and ~x86 systems and it
works. I've rebuilt all packages on my devbox using it and nothing
(new) failed. However, I didn't try building it using <gcc-4.8.
