gcc might not be available either.
And the file may not be local (it may be accessed via Tramp or jka-compr).
I.e. "fails gracefully" can't be obtained without a condition-case.
And AFAICT the result is completely unused unless you happen to also use
gud-tooltips.
You'd be better served postponing execution of such a command to the moment
when it's actually needed (i.e. when gud-tooltips are actually being used).
If the user gets an error when she uses gud-tooltips, he won't mind, but if
she gets the error about something that she won't even ever use, she has
reasons to be upset.
