  Not entirely clean either, but what about the following:

[toolchain/gcc/Config.in]
config BR2_ARCH_HAS_ALL_GCC
	bool

config BR2_ARCH_HAS_GCC_4_4
	bool
	default y if BR2_ARCH_HAS_ALL_GCC

[arch/Config.in]
config BR2_mips
	select BR2_ARCH_HAS_ALL_GCC
...

[arch/Config.in.arm]
config BR2_arm1176jzf_s
	select BR2_ARCH_HAS_ALL_GCC
...
config BR2_cortex_a8
	select BR2_ARCH_HAS_GCC_4_4
...
