When adding PPC support I had loads of troubles compiling gcc and glibc 
due to sqrt and type size problems.
My efika is too busy serving stuff to serve as a testbed and my 
dht-walnut lacks a psu currently, so I'm a bit apprehensive about 
bumping toolchains without runtime testing them.
If console-image actually builds with gcc 4.3.3 + binutils 2.18, that 
would be a *huge* step forward.
