For sources, you can usually just pick up the latest GCC release. For
example, 4.9.2 worked for me:

  ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.9.2/gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2

I can't recommend using trunk at the moment (i.e. GCC 5), as we hit some
issues with the PSCI calling code that I plan to post fixes for at -rc1.
