I'm not saying we should wait; I asked for this a few months ago.
But, I've been informed that the latest gcc should be imported
first because it records dependency information when linking a
shared library to other shared libraries (or something like that).

I think the entire library version bump should be done in one
commit as opposed to just bumping libpthread.
