Thanks. Actually, it looks fine, but

AAARG! How is anyone (being a humble configure script) supposed to
pick `3.1.1<SPACE>20020606' to be the version string from that? I
could live with something like
gcc (GNU CC) 3.1.1-20020606-debian-prerelease
or even
gcc (GNU CC) 3.1.1-20020606 (Debian prerelease)
I think maybe someone should file a bug to the Debian gcc package.
LilyPond will not be the only package to verify the version of the
compiler.
Greetings,
Jan.
