 Its been just under 5 years since the required version
 of GCC was set at 3.3.0 at the time it was 7 years old.

 I'm proposing bumping it to 4.1.0 which is almost 9 years
 old since its used in RHEL 5 which is still supported.

 For the record if it was set to 4.3.0 there would be
 very few version checks needed at all.
