Patch to allow kBuild to use gcc7

gcc6 is deprecated but kBuild/Makefile specifies "USE_GCC=any" which results 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 required is
"USE_GCC=yes". Changing the Makefile successfully builds kBuild using gcc7. The
attached patch makes this change.
