merge GCC 6.4.0.  sanitizer stuff is probably busted, but most
other changes merged easily.

docs need to be regenerated with modern versions still.

import GCC 5.3.0.  see these urls for details which are too large to
include here:

	http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html
	http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html

(note that GCC 5.x is a release stream like GCC 4.9.x, 4.8.x, etc.)


the main issues we will have are:

The default mode for C is now -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu89.

ARM:
The deprecated option -mwords-little-endian has been removed.
The options -mapcs, -mapcs-frame, -mtpcs-frame and -mtpcs-leaf-frame
 which are only applicable to the old ABI have been deprecated.

MIPS:
The o32 ABI has been modified and extended. The o32 64-bit
 floating-point register support is now obsolete and has been removed.
 It has been replaced by three ABI extensions FPXX, FP64A, and FP64.
 The meaning of the -mfp64 command-line option has changed. It is now
 used to enable the FP64A and FP64 ABI extensions.
