For testing purposes, or just to have the latest GCC, some people might
prefer GCC-4.7.1 over the Sage-shipped GCC-4.6.3. That's why I created
an optional GCC-4.7.1 spkg.
The spkg is exactly the same as the GCC-4.6.3 spkg currently in Sage,
except for the src/ directory. Just for fun, I tested it on Solaris and
it works.
