Google released and enhanced version of gcc-4.2.1 plus their local
patches for Android[1].
The patches are owned by Google and the license hasn't been changed

-Add configure support for FreeBSD 10 and 11.
-Adapt a threading fix to gnu POSIX95 (which we don't use).
-Refer to a bug fix for the disabled vrptree support.
This is all useless in our current build but it is included
for convenience in case someone may want to re-package our
older gcc.
