that's because it is not.  there's a difference between running brand
new bleeding edge versions of the toolchain on a stable system all the
time and running them for the stabilization process.  inevitably every
gcc/glibc/kernel header upgrade in ~arch breaks a shit ton of stable
packages (and even unstable packages), the vast majority of which will
be fixed by those packages stabilizing a new version as natural
progression by the time the toolchain versions have settled for
stabilization.
