Update to the 20130728 snapshot of GCC 4.9.0.

Introduce a new option BOOTSTRAP that allows switching between a
full bootstrap of GCC and just running a simple build.

Bootstrapping is the default upstream, and for very stable and old
flavors of GCC we disable this by default since that is a huge win
in terms of build time of the port.  No change in default behavior
for this port -- for the time being we continue to bootstrap.

Update to the 20130609 snapshot of GCC 4.9.0.

This addresses the libitm/ build issue via an upstream of mine,
so we can remove the local patch.

Update to the 20130526 snapshot of GCC 4.9.0.  (This requires a small
adjustment to our Java hierarchy patch, no functional change though.)

Update to the 20130505 snapshot of GCC 4.9.0.

 

14:00 gerald 

Update to the 20130414 snapshot of GCC 4.9.0.  This requires a fix
for libitm which didn't expect the OS to define __always_inline by
itself (and differently).

Also, this no longer installs libffi and its info and man pages which
was always meant to remain for internal use only.

Feature safe:	yes

Now that GCC 4.8.0 has been released, welcome GCC 4.9 in its very,
very early development stages.

Business as usual with the C, C++, Fortran, Java compilers and tools
invoked as gcc49, g++49, gfortran49, gcj49 and so forth. Initially
this may be relatively stable due to the GCC 4.8.0 stabilization
efforts, but be prepared for a rough ride the coming months as this
goes through active development.
