the patch has been committed, but I see that the release notes
at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html do not mentioned this.

Can you please add a note?  (http://gcc.gnu.org/about.html has
some background on our web site setup, and I am working to
consolidate all our documentation in this area -- plus I am
happy to lend a helping hand.)
