There is a clean solution to this problem, as implemented in the
configure-script of mplayer (severly edited, the full code is available
at http://mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/main/configure):

if test "$_skip_cc_check" != yes ; then
  echocheck "$_cc version"
  cc_version=`$_cc -v 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^.*version \([aegcygnustp-]*[0-9.]*\).*$/\1/p'`
  case $cc_version in
    2.95.[2-9]|2.95.[2-9].[0-9]|3.[0-9]|3.[0-9].[0-9])
      cc_version="$cc_version, ok"
      ;;
    *)
      cc_version="$cc_version, bad"
      cc_verc_fail=yes
      ;;
  esac
  echores "$cc_version"
  if test "$cc_verc_fail" ; then
    cat <<EOF

*** Please downgrade/upgrade C compiler to gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x version! ***

        GCC 2.96 IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED BY US !
EOF
    die "Bad gcc version"
  fi
else
cat <<EOF
