    bootstrap/106482 - document minimal GCC version
    
    There's no explicit mention of what GCC compiler supports C++11
    and the cross compiler build requirement mentions GCC 4.8 but not
    GCC 4.8.3 which is the earliest known version to not run into
    C++11 implementation bugs.  The following adds explicit wording.

            known to work.
