ok, i see them now:

f9d1425: Disallow gcc versions 4.1.{0,1}
f153b82: Sanitize gcc version header includes

agreed, much cleaner.

One small issue - i think this now allows gcc 3.0 and 3.1 again - which we
didnt before. Dont we need the patch below - am i missing something?

Subject: [PATCH] Disallow gcc versions 3.{0,1}

GCC 3.0 and 3.1 are too old to build a working kernel.
