Bug#772602: [sh4]: Please use default compiler instead of gcc-4.7

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Package: linux
Version: 3.16.7-2
Severity: normal

Hello!

On sh4, the kernel package is still built with gcc-4.7 by default
since both gcc-4.8 and gcc-4.9 were not built on sh4 until recently.

This has now been resolved and both gcc-4.8 and gcc-4.9 are now
readily available on sh4 to build the kernel. I assume it should
just be necessary to drop the "compiler" statement in /debian/
config/sh4/defines.

It would be nice to have this fixed for the next upload.

Thanks!
Adrian
