Comment:

 Hopefully this patch fixed it:

 {{{
 Sun Aug 31 15:01:45 PDT 2008  Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>
   * Use a hopefully more robust method of determining the gcc version
 }}}

 We now call `gcc -dumpversion` rather than interpreting the output of `gcc
 --version`. I've checked `gcc -dumpversion` on all the platforms I have
 access to (including debian, ubuntu and solaris) and it produces
 consistent results.
