It's still available in the denzil branch, so unless someone steps up to maintain it I'm inclined to say no to patches bringing it back in the master branch. The gcc-4.5 recipe was adapted from the gcc-4.5.1 recipe from the denzil branch. The structure of the newer gcc-4.7 recipes in the current poky/master branch are a bit different from the older recipes in the denzil branch. So, while developing the gcc-4.5 recipes, I started with the existing gcc-4.7 templates, and looked at the gcc-4.6 recipes in the current meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer and incorporated all the patches for gcc-4.5.1 from the denzil branch. This way the gcc-4.5 recipe would be compatible with builds against the current poky/master branch, and take advantage of all the newer recipe versions, in the current poky/master branch, while maintaining legacy support for the gcc-4.5.1 toolchain. The problem I ran into was with support for soft-float on the PowerPC440 processor. If I can isolate the issue, and get it to work with gcc-4.6 or gcc-4.7, there is no need to add legacy gcc-4.5 toolchain support to the toolchain-layer. If not, then it would be required to maintain support, atleast for PowerPC 440 targets with soft-float.

[oe] [meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer] Adding retired toolchain support for gcc-4.5.1 and eglibc-2.13
Hi, I've created a set of patches to add retired toolchain support for gcc-4.5.1, to the meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer. I've also included a patch for eglibc-2.13. Builds for PowerPC 440 processors soft-float don't work with eglibc-2.15 and 2.16. I could add it to the meta-xilinx layer, but I prefer to put retired toolchain support into the toolchain layer, so that it is generally available across all layers, in case someone needs it. Do let me know if it is okay to go ahead and submit these patches for inclusion into the meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer!

I will try with gcc-4.6 and eglibc-2.13, since that combo is know to work, since the Denx ELDK 5.2.1 released based off yocto/denzil branch uses it. Will let you know how it goes.
