CI: GCC no longer publishes .bz2 tarballs

I just updated the gdc-6 branch in my repo to gcc 6.4.0 and the CI started to fail downloading the tarball. Turns out that the .bz2 tarball was replaced with a .tar.xz tarball for gcc 6.4.0 and I guess it'll be similar for all new releases: ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-6.4.0/ What's the best workaround for this? Simply trying .xz first and if that fails trying .bz2? Or switching to .gz tarballs entirely? -- Johannes

Just switch it to whatever is the current.  Downloading the xz would be better for size.
