improvements and bug fixes.
Interesting changes include:

We are aware that FSF GCC 4.8.2 was released earlier this week.
However, this release happened too late in our cycle for us to use it
as the basis for Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.10. The only functional
difference contained in FSF GCC 4.8.2 that is not in Linaro GCC 4.8
2013.10 is a correction to a x86 test case.
