I'm just thinking: Perhaps one could check the result rather than the gcc version? My spkg first builds a patched version of C-MeatAxe (for linear algebra over finite fields) and then some programs of David Green (which use C-MeatAxe, and I wouldn't like to rewrite them to use Linbox...); this works pretty fast. After that, my Cython code gets processed, and this takes some time. And it is the programs of David Green which don't work with old gcc and high optimization. So, before processing the Cython code, I could simply call David's programs; if they work without error, then apparently the gcc version was fine. Would this be a valid approach?
