    Thanks, I see that now, but why no mention of that
    errata (RHBA-2018:1383) on the SL 7 GCC errata page ?
    And why wasn't it sent to the errata mailing list ?
    Please try to ensure updates are not released without
    errata documentation in future.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Jason
