Bastian blank added code to select the exact gcc version per arch. The idea
was not to build the kernel with 4.0 or 4.1, while the modules where built
with something else abi-incompatible.
So, if you really like, you can set the gcc thingy to gcc-2.95 or gcc-3.4 or
something, i don't know the details, please ask Bastian about it.
