Kp f9b90d4e8c Raise minimum required gcc version to gcc-7
gcc-4.9 support is now difficult to test due to system libraries linking
to newer symbols.  gcc-4.9 is unsupported upstream, as are gcc-5 and
gcc-6.  Raise the minimum required gcc version to the minimum version
supported upstream.

Debian Jessie shipped gcc-4.9.2, and support for this target was the
primary motivator for retaining gcc-4.9 support.  Jessie ended regular
support in June 2018, and will end Long Term Support in June 2020.  It
seems unlikely that Jessie would receive a snapshot build of Rebirth in
the months it has left.

Debian Stretch shipped gcc-6, but is currently considered "oldstable"
and has been superseded by Debian Buster.  Further, Debian Stretch
provides a package for gcc-7, so Stretch users can still build Rebirth
using only packages available from the package manager.
