Any chance of bringing gcc 4.7 support back to crosstool-ng 1.23

Hi Bryan,

I realize this is probably re-hashing something that was discussed a few 
months ago but is there any chance of bringing back support for gcc 4.7.x?

We have a vendor toolchain based on this. Fortunately the vendor 
provides source but updating this source against a newer gcc is a bit 
beyond our capabilities. We've asked the vendor if they can provide 
their toolchain based on a current gcc but so far no movement on that.

Alternatively would it be possible to have a "custom" gcc version in the 
configuration so we could point it at the vendors source tarball. I 
think we'd want the same for binutils and glibc but I think we could get 
away with those being patches on top of the upstream source.

Thanks,
Chris
