[pseudo][pseudo-1.9]PATCH 04/10] configure: Require GCC 5 or later

[Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@kernel.crashing.org>]

From: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@amd.com>

pseudo uses __has_include, which GCC only supports from version 5, so
older compilers such as GCC 4.8 on CentOS 7 failed part way through the
build.

clang reports itself as GCC 4.2.1, so it is only checked for
__has_include.
