Yep. I introduced check_gcc into 2.4 (backported from 2.5), in fact.

The above change does exactly what Alan describes, and is a patch I was
planning to submit myself :) I did not want to change compiler options
at the time when I submitted the check_gcc patch, but after many months
of manually patching to get the best compiler flags, it seems solid.
