Gcc 4.4.6 has been broken to build jdk8u-dev

[Hohensee, Paul]

There's a JBS issue for this, https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8197546 , which needs to be backported. The issue is already marked jdk8u-fix-yes. I'll push it.

    gcc 4.4.6 has trouble to deal with it.
    /src/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/awt/multiVis.c: In function 'ReadRegionsInList':
    /src/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/awt/multiVis.c:405: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode

    gmake[2]: *** [/build/jdk/objs/libawt_xawt/multiVis.o] Error 1
    
    
    Shall we drop gcc 4.4.6 support or just update it?
    
    Thanks,
