These old GCC releases are often the only working solution for ports
on sparc64/powerpc, so it still makes sense to keep them.  Of course,
I also keep local bsd.gcc.mk and bsd.default-versions.mk patches, but
that's far easier than having to resurrect ports like I have to do for
now-gone Qt 4 stack.
