I just checked. The patch set WAS updated to the later gcc-6 in sid, but
these updates only affected the line numbers, so the latest gcc-6
patches in cross-gcc-dev=135 do apply to gcc-6/stable (6.3.0-18), albeit
with a little bit of fuzz.

It looks like gcc-5 and gcc-7 are not in stable, so we only care about
gcc-6. Yes?
