[oe] Building with gcc-4.6 is not working

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

Hi

OE moved some time ago to gcc-4.7 as default. But for some
builds I need to use older version which is now in
meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer.
But such builds fail for both gcc-linaro-4.6 and gcc-4.6:

But when I do same build with gcc-linaro-4.7 task order is different:

do_install (29169): log.do_install.29169

How to solve the problem?
