That's not something we do on release branches -- they aren't supposed
to remove platforms or configurations.

So I'd prefer not to do that.  Is the original patch suggested by
Ulrich problematic in some way?  I understand that removing the text
is easier, but assuming we don't want to drop support for GCC 4.6 on
the release branch, do you see any problem in installing the patch
Ulrich posted?
