Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6
Various architectures fail to build properly with older versions of the gcc compiler. An example from Guenter Roeck in thread [1]: > > In file included from ./include/linux/mm.h:17:0, > from ./include/linux/pid_namespace.h:7, > from ./include/linux/ptrace.h:10, > from arch/openrisc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:32: > ./include/linux/mm_types.h:497:16: error: flexible array member in otherwise empty struct > > This is just an example with gcc 4.5.1 for or32. I have seen the problem > with gcc 4.4 (for unicore32) as well. So update the minimum required version of gcc to 4.6.
