We keep versions that are known to work. I guess we can bump it to
gcc-7, we'll just have to test all the other architectures. Or we can
just bump it for powerpc64le. There's a reason why %guile-static is
still guile-2.0.

Yeah. make-bootstrap is going to come in handy again when we get around
to riscv64. It might just be easier to let whoever ends up working on
that to mess with it then.
