cc/gcc: cleanup the _or_later logic

So far, we've had a version always select appropriate _or_later option,
which in turn would select all previous _or_later options.

Because the dependencies on companion libs were cumulative, that was
working OK. But the upcoming 4.6 will no longer depend on libelf, so
we can't keep the cumulative scheme we've been using so far.

Have each release family select the corresponding dependencies, instead
of relying on selecting previous _or_later.

    10 I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:

    11 

    12   Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/

    13     Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.

    14     I owe him one. Thank you Dan!

    15     Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the

    16     original work by Dan.

    17 

    18 And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:

    19 

    20   Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.

    21     Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his

    22     MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.

    23

    73 Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I

    77 20100530: Status of this file

    78 

    79 It's been about a year now that we've moved the repository to Mercurial.

    80 The repository now has proper authorship for each changeset, and this is

    81 used to build the changelog at each release. This file will probably no

    82 longer be updated, and is here to credit people prior to the Mercurial

    83 migration, or for people discussing ideas or otherwise helping without

    84 code.

    85 

    86 If you think you deserve being cited in this file, do yell at me! ;-)
