+    <li>The GCC 6.5 release has an accidental ABI incompatibility for nested
+    <code>std::pair</code> objects, for more details see
+    <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87822">PR 87822</a>.
+    The bug causes a layout change for pairs where the first member is also
+    a pair, e.g. <code>std::pair&lt;std::pair&lt;X, Y&gt;, Z&gt;</code>.
+    The GCC 6 release series is closed so the bug in GCC 6.5 will not be fixed
+    upstream, but there is a patch in the bug report to allow it to be fixed
+    by anybody packaging GCC 6.5 or installing it themselves.</li>
