[Buildroot] [git commit] toolchain/external: use -dumpversion to check gcc version

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=06cd604ec6d34f25b436ab729543418042a87e1c
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Currently, `--version` option is used and later matched with a regex to get
the actual gcc version.  There's a dedicated gcc option to do exactly that:
`-dumpversion`.

Also `--version` may return a string customised by a vendor that provides
the toolchain, which makes the current regex approach error prone.  In
fact, this situation has been seen with a real customised toolchain.
