And I think the reason is that ./platform/emulator/configure when 
parsing the version string from gcc assumes there is a nl after the 
version stuff in brackets at the (end of line) which is true - however 
the variable assignment seems to trim all but the last new line! So the 
test fails.

What has changed here? Perlpexed...
