 So, we should ideally have done this check BEFORE filing it in
 gcc-linaro, since Matthias had reported a bunch of failures from
 http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu_ftbfs.cgi against the Ubuntu
 packages.

 The right workflow is:

 check whether the same failure is on
 http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu_ftbfs.cgi
 - if yes, this isn't Linaro specific, flag it as such in the wiki
   page, you're done;
 - else, file a gcc-linaro bug

 Since Michael filed some bugs already, when looking at them check
 whether it's an issue in Ubuntu, if it isn't, investigate, otherwise
 check whether it's reported in Ubuntu already by going to the source
 package bugs page:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo
 if you find a bug, mark the Linaro GCC bug as a duplicate of the Ubuntu
 bug; if you don't, add an Ubuntu task to the Linaro GCC bug using "Also
 affects distribution", and mark the Linaro task as Invalid.

   Thanks!
