Citando isso:
gcc -V is a way of selecting a specific gcc version when you have more than one, that's a decoy here though: configure is iterating through a set of options (--version -v -V etc.) to make sure it can log the version of the C compiler, be it gcc or something else.
Citando isso:
gcc used to have a -V option for version reports. It now uses -v, and provides the configuration options used when the compiler was built.
You package is a bit dated and doesn't reflect that fact.
BTW, the -qversion option was merged into the -v...
Citando isso:
On some versions of gcc, the -V option tells it to use a specified version of the compiler -- but it requires an argument. It's documented here. The option appears to have been removed some time between 4.5.4 and 4.6.4.
