Summary:                    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SYSROOT should depend on
BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_2_0 or higher
Description: 
The sysroot feature is only available on gcc 4.2.0 and higher. Building it
with gcc 4.1.x will cause an error (as sysroot's help string already
specifies).

toolchain/gcc/Config.in should be changed. Preferably, the rule should be
changed from exclusive:
depends on !BR2_GCC_VERSION_3_3_5 ...
to inclusive:
depends on BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_2_0 || BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_2_1 ||
BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3

No, the !ancient is fine. I don't want to special-case working version but
special case deprecat, ancient, unsupported stuff, if anything.

If you select BR2_DEPRECATED, you're on your own anyway, at least in my
POV.

I'm okay with either way: we should just make sure than when a new 4.1.x
version comes out, it's also excluded.

(Personally, I've lost considerable time trying to figure out the problem
which occurs when you try to build gcc 4.1.x with sysroot, so I deem it
important to disallow it within the configuration.)
