"LATEST" detection must go. It makes bisecting impossible.

In general, if we want reproducible builds (and this is required 
for reliable bisection of regressions), we can't rely on 
non-immutable online resources. Fetching / building stable 
compiler versions is OK, but detecting which version is latest 
right now is not.
