toolchain-wrapper: use -ffp-contract=off on MIPS Xburst for gcc >= 4.6

Since gcc 4.6, GCC deprecated -mfused-madd, -ffp-contract=off should
be used for the Xburst workaround.

Tested with the MIPS Sourcery 2011.03 toolchain (based on gcc 4.5),
the toolchain wrapper uses -mno-fused-madd, as expected:

$ BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER=2 ./output/host/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc -o toto toto.c
Toolchain wrapper executing:
    '/home/thomas/toolchains/mips-2011.03/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc'
    '--sysroot'
    '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/mipsel-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot'
    '-mabi=32'
    '-msoft-float'
    '-mno-fused-madd'
    '-EL'
    '-march=mips32r2'
    '-o'
    'toto'
    'toto.c'

And with the MIPS Sourcery 2012.09 toolchain (based on gcc 4.7), the
toolchain wrapper uses -ffp-contract=off, as expected:

$ BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER=2 ./output/host/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc -o toto toto.c
Toolchain wrapper executing:
    '/home/thomas/toolchains/mips-2012.09/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc'
    '--sysroot'
    '/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/mipsel-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot'
    '-mabi=32'
    '-msoft-float'
    '-ffp-contract=off'
    '-EL'
    '-march=mips32r2'
    '-o'
    'toto'
    'toto.c'

Fixes the ci20_defconfig build:
