Ralf Wildenhues (CCd) went through the whole toolchain (gcc, binutils,
gdb, etc) and bumped the required auto* versions to the latest stable
releases.
This seems to be a good idea generally, so I think we ought to do it for
Classpath as well.
The only actual source change needed for this is to update
cp-hacking.texinfo. You might think that, given this, perhaps we should
not update the versions -- but I think it still makes sense, in that it
means that future patches can now rely on these minimums.
