gcc 4.x is not supported for the rtems 4.6 release branch.  Besides the
changes in arguments to gcc, gcc 3.4 and newer generated many warnings 
and a few compile errors with the RTEMS source.  Addressing these 
required required many small source code changes.  Stick to the tools
shipped with the release branch.

The autoconf and automake versions have similar issues.  Updating the
build structure also required too many changes for a stable release
branch.

Each RTEMS release branch has a preferred toolset.  The tool versions
you are using are what I expect to be for 4.7.
