Found the problem: I was keeping your original gcc.mk as gcc-4.6.3.mk 
and gcc-4.7.0.mk alongside the old gcc-4.5.3.mk, somehow your Makefile 
kept grabbing only gcc-4.6.3.mk instead of gcc.mk, or any of the others.

Even after making those steps the same gcc-4.6.3.mk was used.

Looks like a side effect, and a good candidate for a warning: "never 
keep old, renamed files in the src directory".

I moved the other gcc-*.mk files from src, and everything works normal 
again.

Thanks for your help.
