+       * configure.ac: Validate compiler version with a empirical test of
+       __GNUC__ and __GNUC_MINOR__ predefined values, rather than by grepping
+       $CC -v output.
+       * configure: Regenerated.
+
        * inet/htons.c (htons): Prototypify.
        * inet/htonl.c (htonl): Likewise.
