    gcc.mk: restore GCC 6 handling

    This is partly intended as a workaround to fix behaviour on NetBSD 8.x
    where GCC 7 was being pulled in universally after the prior commits
    here. Now it behaves as expected. There is an unaddressed issue in this
    code that needs to be examined further. (This has been discussed in
    more than one recent thread on teck-pkg@, including John Klos's report
    of this issue.)

    In any case, GCC 6 has also seen build improvements by nia@, who noted
    it's safe to simply revert part of the original change set, in one of
    those discussions on tech-pkg. (We can't use the hack introduced in the
    prior revisions for GCC 6, though, or this same broken dependency
    pattern occurs and will universally force GCC 6 instead of 7 on NetBSD
    8.x.)

    Tested on NetBSD 8.2_STABLE and 9.2_STABLE with various packages,
    including tcsh, the original reported issue.
