The gcc-poison-parameters was added specifically to deal with an issue
on ppc targets and a bug when we build with -Os -frename-registers.

This bug below reports the issue and is fixed in gcc-4.6.x:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44618

Someone IIRC reported that Os generated gcc-runtime and root file system did not boot even with gcc 4.6 thats why that patch was still in there. Can you confirm thats not the case anymore ?

Yes, things work perfectly fine w/gcc-4.6.x.  I'm able to boot on PPC w/o any issue.
