I guess there is some script in Sage that tests the
available version of GCC (called when you type "make" in SAGE_ROOT).

There's only a (partially broken) script for testing whether $CC /is/ GCC (or SunCC etc.), and another one for testing whether $CC supports / accepts specific options.

In shell scripts (including spkg-install files), we usually just use something like

case `$CC -dumpversion 2>/dev/null` in
    4.[01].*)
        # Usually spoiled apples
        ;;
    4.4.5*)
        # Probably from Debian Squeeze's default GCC4 package
        ;;
    4.2.0|4.5.0|4.6.0)
        # Pretty broken...
        ;;
    4.7*|4.8.0)
        # Good.
        ;;
    *) # Something else
esac


[The version numbers don't mean much here, there're just to give an example.]
