At first this was only triggered by Linux vs GNU/Linux, but then I
noticed GCC being lower-cased and the Red Hat Linux reference when
we actually do not support that old version of glibc anymore at all.

Committed to mainline.

	* prerequisites.xml: Refer to GCC (instead of gcc) and GNU/Linux.
	Remove an obsolete reference to a Red Hat release we do not
	support any longer.
	Refer to Debian GNU/Linux.
