This will fail if arch/Makefile for some reason redefine CC to something
else. I recall one arch did that in the past.

Two options:
1) Use $(call cc-version) all over the place.
2) Use '=' assignment to GCC_VERSION so value is evaluated only when
used.

I prefer the first version since we loose the optimzation that gcc is
called once anyway.
