__GNUC__ shouldn't be hardcoded in the gcc binary as a definition passed to
cpp.  It should be defined in specs, so that specs files written for older
versions of gcc (e.g. 1.40) won't create warnings that some users could
potentially misunderstand.  

The specs file is a really nice idea.  Advatange should be taken of it
wherever possible.
