Patch to allow kBuild to use gcc7

gcc6 is deprecated but kBuild/Makefile specifies "USE_GCC=3Dany" which resu=
lts in
gcc6 being used. gcc6 is EOL and is taged for expiration.

While I believe that bsd.gcc.mk is incorrectly selecting gcc6 for the
"any"case, the recommended value for gcc when a specific version is require=
d is
"USE_GCC=3Dyes". Changing the Makefile successfully builds kBuild using gcc=
7. The
attached patch makes this change.
