[yocto] [OE-core] [RFT] GCC 6 Recipes

[Khem Raj]

I have updated

http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=kraj/gcc-6

With few more patches added now. Most of packages in OE-Core are
building fine except linux-yocto on mips and ppc

ppc
http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Details/60423/

mips
http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Details/60427/

and musl builds needs few more packages to be fixed. but things are
looking good.

Thanks
-Khem
