The top-level check requires buy-in from src to change. The one we should
update for GCC is that in gcc/configure.ac, plus the several places in
gcc/doc/install.texi that mention the version number (currently 4.4).
(All of those places except the one in the Prerequisites section could
probably be removed.)
