Sure.

[ak at cave ak]$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
[ak at cave ak]$ gcc -v 2>&1 | awk '/Red Hat/{split ($9,version,"-|)");print 
version[2]}'
98

So check this number and if it's above or equal to 85 or something, pass 
the test.
