cc/gcc: remove 'sub-level' version form symbols

Now we use defconfig files to store the samples, we have to be a bit more
conservatives in the symbols names, so as to avoid gigantic version bumps
when updating sub-level versions from a package.

For example (using fictitious versions):
- in crosstool-NG 1.17.0, we choose:
- latest gcc is gcc-linaro-4.7-2012.10, which is the default for the
choice in the menuconfig
- gcc-linaro-4.6-2012.10 is selected
- so, sample has an explicit symbol for the selected gcc version, as it
is not the default
- we update to crosstool-NG 1.18.0:
- latest gcc version is gcc-linaro-4.7-2013.01
- gcc-linaro-46 has been updated to gcc-linaro-4.6-2013.01
- as the sample now has no *valid* symbol to set the gcc version, the
default is used, while we would have expected to still use the 4.6
release from linaro, not the 4.7

Get rid of sub-level (ie. the third digit sequence in versions) from the
symbols for linaro versions.

    31       Add support for the Signal Processing Engine.  This will set up
    32       the toolchain so that it supports the SPE ABI extensions. This
    33       mainly targets Freescale e500 processors.
    34       
    35       Setting this option will append "spe" to the end of your target
    36       tuple name (e.g., powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe) so that the gcc
    37       configure/build system will know to include SPE ABI support. It
    38       will also automatically add "-mabi=spe -mspe" to your TARGET_CFLAGS,
    39       and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY, so you
    40       do not need to explicitly add them.
