I don't think that's necessary because the ebuild is supposed to provide
a value of UCLIBC_VER if and only if a patchset is needed, and writing
the ebuild is up to us toolchain folks.  I can see the possibility of
upstream porting the fix to versions of gcc previous to 6 and then we'd
have to go back and hack away at the toolchain.eclass.

I'm planning to use the same logic for musl specific patches:  if
MUSL_VER is provided in the gcc ebuild, then there is a musl patchset to
be applied, otherwise there isn't.

This seems to be the cleanest approach without littering the eclass with
tc_version_is_at_least.

Comment?
