There are no changes between gcc-4.6 4.6.3-1ubuntu3 and 4.6.3-1ubuntu4 that
impact code generation.  Per
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-toolchain-interlock>,
there should be no need to avoid compiler skew across architectures in this
case, nor to rebuild the kernel just for the gcc package update.

(But the kernel upload is wanted for other reasons, such as bug #919281,
without which we can't do software raid on server installs...)
