Hey,

I would like to move gcc7 (based on the latest version 7 commit of gcc [0]) into [community] because of cuda 9.2 and in return drop gcc54.

I tried to make it work with current gcc but to no avail. In earlier releases of cuda the incompatibilities could be patched with header hacks but not this time. I tested the whole setup with cuda 9.2 locally and it seems to work fine.

I just want to get somebody's ok on this as apparently not everyone is stoked about having yet another old version of gcc in there for some time.

OK to add gcc7 given it will drop gcc54. A
