Yes. According to the Config.pm documentation (e.g. C< perldoc Config >)
"gccversion"
From gccvers.U:
If "GNU" cc (gcc) is used, this variable holds "1" or
"2" to indicate whether the compiler is version 1 or
2. This is used in setting some of the default
cflags. It is set to '' if not gcc.
Actually, in more recent perls, it could contain a full string, such as
'2.95.4 20010319 (Debian prerelease)', so don't go looking for an exact
match. I also don't have a gcc-3 handy to check what it returns.
But gccversion is still set to '' if not gcc.
