Thank you for this change.

How is this different than say having a releng4 system with gcc41
installed and USE_GCC=3.2+?  gcc41 would be used as would gcc42 when it
came out - as both satisfy the "3.2+" specification.  While it might be
nice to be able to specify a newest GCC version limit we do not have that
support today.  But we do now the highest version number to start
with - the highest version encoded in bsd.gcc.mk.
