commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=6cda724efb20682bb98e6d738e5f7c909415ae07
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

Even if gcc 5 is still maintained for some time (gcc 5.5 is pending),
switch to gcc 6.x since it has been released since 2016-04-27 and
gcc 7.x is available since 2017-05-02.

We have been having toolchains in the autobuilders with gcc
6.x for a while, so the vast majority of the problems should have
already been solved.
