Existing documented practice is to support building cross compilers using 
2.95 or later.  Again, this (and keeping the requirement to 3.4 as 
previously discussed if C++ use is introduced, and ensuring bootstrap from 
a compiler with a different C++ ABI and runtime works) is not about what 
builds are possible but about what builds are not made more complicated 
than necessary.

By now we can probably remove the workaround

in gcc.c though.
