With some compilers such as Clang and ICC emulating GCC, using a version string of the form "GCC $version" can be quite misleading. Also, a great while ago, the version output from gcc --version started including the string "gcc", so it is redundant to repeat that. In order to support ancient GCC versions, we now prefix the result with "GCC " only if the version output does not start with a letter.
