Details

I had been using GCC 4.6 to build, which worked fine up until today when I updated my tree. It seems we added some code that requires features only present in 4.7. It would be nice if we checked for this at configure time to avoid attempting a build that we know will fail.
B2G still builds with GCC 4.4, so that wouldn't work.
AFAIK, there's parts that require 4.7 in B2G, now.
We require GCC 4.9 as of bug 1322792. I'm pretty sure we required 4.7 at some point in the past, but I'm not motivated enough to find the right bug to dupe this to.
