[Clfs-support] gcc-4.8.0 clfs

[bvl]

Hello clfs'ers

The clfs-dev book has not been updated for a while and I was limbering up to 
attempt  a clfs-pure64-bit-build (AMD64-cpu ) with gcc-4.7.2  when 
gcc-4.7.3 and gcc-4.8.0  were released.  I noticed also there is a recent  lfs 
build with gcc-4.8.0.  The questios are:-
--a)  Is it worth upgrading the build to gcc-4.8.0 ?  and if so
--b)  does anyone know of patches* for gcc-4.8.0-pure-64-bit-build* as per 
clfs?

Thanks in advance.

sincerely
bv
* the same applies to gcc-4.7.3
