Did we remove it from every gcc version? Don't think so ;)

Almost all version do - what he meant was that he can't call older releases,
which is contro-productive (I fell into the same trap). While "officially",
using "-V" to call older versions of gcc is not supported, it is highly
useful for testing bugs or going back to a non-broken version of gcc.
(otherwise, why don't we just remove -V?)
