We currently test whether /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink, and if it isn't, then the user gets a somewhat confusing error message: " Under Mac OS X <version>, Fink must be bootstrapped or updated with gcc 4.2, however, you currently have gcc (unknown version) selected. This typically is due to alteration of symlinks which were installed by Xcode. To correct this problem, you will need to restore the compiler symlinks to the configuration that Apple provides. "
The "unknown version" comes in because we don't bother to check the version if /usr/bin/gcc isn't a symlink, and we use a common error message for both the non-symlink and wrong-gcc options. We _could_ change things around so that a non-symlink /usr/bin/gcc returns a different error message, but since /usr/bin/gcc isn't a symlink in CLI tools in Xcode 5 there probably isn't much utility in doing that at this point.
