RHEL / CentOS 6 are still supported, and they come with GCC 4.4.

Other potential options:

1. Have configure disable seabios if the gcc version is too old
2. Have configure change to an older seabios release if gcc is too old
3. Downgrade the seabios tag / changeset to a version that builds with
older gcc versions

Long term I think we want to get away from building seabios ourselves
altogether; but it's a bit late in the release cycle to work out that
kind of change.

On the whole I'd probably go with #3 at this point.
