Subject: toolchain/gcc: use version 7.x for x86 by default
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a97588bc6ae70a134456833d4d489148e38a5aa;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fynezz.git

toolchain/gcc: use version 7.x for x86 by default

This is needed for retpoline support, which mitigates the spectre
