[Buildroot] libusb host gcc version issue

Dear All,

compiling host-libusb requires gcc >=4.9 (due to   _Thread_local ), which 
causes autobuilder failures on older distros (like Ubuntu 14.04), see the 
linked autobuild report below. Also the target build needs >= 4.9, but it's 
already being handled by Fabric's patch.
  One way to fix the host build to bump the minimal GCC version to 4.9 in 
'support/dependencies/dependencies.mk', although I'm not sure it's desirable, 
as it's not only kicks out Ubuntu 14.04 (which is EOL anyway), but also CentOS 
7 (which is supported until 2024). What is the public opinion on this?

Thx, regards
Zoltan Gyarmati
