That would the trick. The first line of gcc --version includes here the correct string. Thanks. (Btw. I would use head -n 1)
But I will wait for a comment from one of the maintainers about defining CC_VERSION_STRING.
If someone gives me an ok, I will write a patch including your suggestion and will print that version in the command version.
Looks good to me - please go on.
Hm... while we are at it... the bintuils (especially linker) version is probably equally interesting, so eventually we should also add a LD_VERSION_STRING.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
