Um, wouldn't it be better to check for -fvisibility=hidden
support instead of the GCC version, anyway?

Description:
------------
There is a check in configure.in that looks for -fvisibility=hidden support when the user is
building with GCC:
dnl activate some gcc specific optimizations for gcc >= 4
if test "$GCC" = "yes"; then
case $host_alias in
*darwin*)
GCC_MAJOR_VERSION=`$CC -dumpversion | /usr/bin/sed -nE '1s/([[0-9]]+)\.[[0-$
;;
*)
GCC_MAJOR_VERSION=$CC --version | $SED -n '1s/[[^0-9]]*//;1s/\..*//;1p'
;;
esac
if test $GCC_MAJOR_VERSION -ge 4; then
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fvisibility=hidden"
fi
fi
The idea is to parse off the major version number from the end of the "gcc --version"
output, and see if it's 4 or more. However, the regular expression in question doesn't
work when $CC is a little weird. This is the expected result, with a vanilla GCC:
$CC --version | sed -n '1s/[[^0-9]]*//;1s/\..*//;1p'
4
But this is what happens when my CC is set:
CC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
$ $CC --version | sed -n '1s/[[^0-9]]*//;1s/\..*//;1p'
x6_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo Hardened 4
