I think you may also have to delete buildstepsdir/src-gcc-copied to
force the patches to be reapplied.
You don't usually need to do install-env if you've already got a
previous build, but you do need to 'make install' after make to copy
all the components to '~/gccsdk/cross'.

The changed components are libstdc++ and libgcc. For statically built
programs, you'll have to relink with these libraries to benefit from
the fixes. For dynamically linked programs, the libstdc++ and libgcc
shared libraries should be copied to '!SharedLibs.lib.abi-2.0' on the
RISC OS side.

I was going to say that I would expect to see a more recent date than
20140527, but having tried the same here, I don't get a date at all.
Even so, I think you're still looking at the old versions here;
'make install' should fix that.
