I am just going trought those bugreports.  There are few marked as
unit-at-a-time (or non-unit-at-a-time) but they are not closely related:

target/14798 seems to be SH backend bug with patch being disucssed there...

C++/14865  THis looks like C++ frontend bug in the legacy way of doing
reachability using SYMBOL_REFERENCED.  I am not quite sure what to do
here. 

middle-end/15114  I used to have patch for this, but Richard had better
ideas to fix, but I am unsure what is the status right now...

I am testing fixes for remaining two problems and will try into those 3
too later...
