RTEMS Source Builder | rtems: Add support for a build date in the gcc version message (!227)

The requirement to handle no build date in build system is to allow existing tools in the field to work and so avoid needing a forced tool update and to support tools not built with the RSB. I would like all RSB built tools to have a build date to document the API level they contain.

The build date is a nice way to handle an API change. The inability to check in the build system only means the build breaks in a possibility confusing way.
