Comparing my morty branch (with update to gcc 6.4 by backporting
incremental gcc updates from master) and today's morty-next (which
updates gcc 6.2 -> 6.4 with a single commit) the only differences are:

 - My branch lacks all the new x86 specific patches (OK, since they
are appearing here first)

 - Today's morty-next is lacking one patch, which was added to oe-core
master as a backport (from gcc master) to gcc 6.3:

I don't have any strong opinions on the patch, but presumably it fixed
some issue Khem was seeing, it still applies cleanly to gcc 6.4 and we
have it in rocko so on balance I'd say it should probably be in morty
too.

Overall this looks great though and I'm very happy to see gcc updates
landing in the release branches. Thanks Juro!
