Output the (apparent) version of gcc, as suggested by
Subject: [ID 20001226.001] dec_osf.sh mis-parses gcc version 2.95.2 as less than 2.95, causing installation-failure
Message-Id: <uv6puify1hu.fsf@suspiria.ai.mit.edu>
(The patch as such didn't any more apply as the misparsing had
already been addressed in #6474.) Also change the wording about
gcc 2.95.2, for Jeremy it didn't break sdbm, for me it did.
