  Hi guys,

Yesterday I had bug report on a segfaulting binary for x86_64 that ships with texlive-bin 
in testing:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20199
I have reported the bug upstream:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3031498&group_id=145640&atid=762580
and as suspected it turned out to be a bug with gcc 4.5:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45008

Now this means I have no means to include a working binary of dvisvgm for x86_64 in 
texlive-bin until that bug is resolved, since I cannot rely on gcc 4.4.x and no patch is 
available...

What is the procedure you guys follow is such situations?
