Just wondering... I am all for fixing this and the change seems easy
enough, but would it be worth asking for pre-approval to the release
team?

If GCC-4.9 still does not officially claim to be fully C++11 compliant
(which I don't think it does, but perhaps some later 4.9.x does -- in
any case it's not switched on by default), and ppc64el being a new and
somewhat fringe arch, and the bug does not affect to the availability
of the package itself, I am not 100% sure if they will consider this
RC.


Cheers.
