Subject: scripts/ver_linux use 'gcc -dumpversion'
From: Gabriel C <nix.or.die@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always
break after some gcc releases.
Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can
be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something ) ver_linux will report random
junk for these.
Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always
work.
