gcc 4.2.1

[Richard Gill]

Hi

(first post to LFS devel mainling list, tell me if it is incoherent)

I saw the development book still use gcc 4.1.2, and the latest gcc is
4.2.1, so I'm beginning an update to this version. Included a patch
file for the gcc pass2 in chapter 5 (I didn't check if platforms were
included or removed). The newest gcc isn't tested yet in an LFS build
(I'm checking all packages versions, but I guess this one could be of
interest for you).

The main difference in build process since the 4.2.x series is that
the bootstrap method is now implicit, thus in gcc pass1 of chapter 5
don't do 'make bootstrap' but only 'make'. For other passes, use
'--disable-bootstrap' with configure.

Comments welcome
