GCC CVS now outputs a multiline version string:
[teg@halden teg]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.1 20020115 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.1-0.18)

[teg@halden teg]$
It also complains about multiline literals being deprecated, like
#define CC_VERSION "FOO
BAR
"
Autoconf thinks these warnings (which it will get for pretty much all
tests, as this is in confdefs.h) means the test failed.
One way to work around this is:
