[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/spidermonkey: depends on host gcc >= 4.9

Before this get's added I do want to make another suggestion:

Open embedded also has a patch that reverts the reliance on C++14
back to C++11, allowing the host GCC version to be >= 4.8.

https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/blob/master/meta-oe/recipes-extended/mozjs/mozjs/fallback-to-2011-C%2B%2B-standard.patch

If this is a better option let me know and I will instead re-submit the patch
to include this patch.

Thanks!

Adam
