Yes, that's the one I was referring to.  It's the source of the gcc 
backport patches I've added to OE.

Using it, the specific fix referenced has apparently not been backported 
to gcc-4_9-branch.

Nor does it appear in trunk.

Trunk has 5e9c670f06b9eaa52db639b888e0b0d15ba864c1 which may or may not 
be fixing the same bug, but is definitely not this patch.

So I'd have to say that, if the submitted patch is a backport, then all 
the upstream context required to understand it has indeed been removed, 
and this patch to OE should be retracted.

Ditto, but it's unlikely to happen.  Too big an impact to too many 
people.  That mirror is what I've used for gcc work for a couple years now.
