Subject: [PATCH] gcc: Update version from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0

gcc 7.3 supports `-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern` which is used
(if available) by the kernel build to mitigate Spectre attacks
with a method called retpoline. If `-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern`
is not available, the kernel build will not (no longer) emit a
warning [1]. The insufficient protection will be visible on the
running system

    root@dose:/sys# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2
    Vulnerable: Minimal generic ASM retpoline

whereas when the kernel is compiled with gcc 7.3 (`prun gcc-7.3.0-0
./linux-4.14.18-207.bee`) the output is:

    root@dose:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2
    Mitigation: Full generic retpoline
