+            One important example is a fix for when the Linux kernel freezes at
+            boot time on ARM when built with GCC 5.
+            If you are using your own kernel recipe or source tree and

             Alternatively, you can switch back to GCC 4.9 or 4.8 by
             setting <filename>GCCVERSION</filename> in your configuration,
             as follows:
             <literallayout class='monospaced'>
      GCCVERSION = "4.9%"
             </literallayout>
