Those tests were added a long time ago, originally to prevent people 
from going too far in attempts to compile Octave with GCC 1.x or other 
versions that clearly wouldn't work.  Maybe now we could just remove the 
checks completely.

If you decide to leave them in, then I think it makes sense to just warn 
for versions earlier than 4.1.x.
