And gcc-4.7.1-5 is now in [core].  I did not wait for the rebuild to
finish to push this as the situation get no worse in terms of what is
broken (in fact with the rebuilds completed already, things get less
broken...).  And it also stops the situation getting worse with packages
being compiled with the old gcc.

I think I moved all the relevant rebuilds out of the testing repos at
the same time.  If I missed anything, move it...
