I just pushed a new base image which contained gcc-4.8. Individual
developers can use the runes here if they care to build seabios.

Further adjustment to the build script is needed if we really care about
building seabios in gitlab CI. But we don't even know if we can run this
container on gitlab CI yet. :-)
