A better way to check for a GCC compatible compiler is to check whether
the compiler defines __GNUC__.
Then it'll work with clang too (and probably Intel's C compiler which
defines __GNUC__).

clang supports -fPIC (and most of the commandline flags that GCC does),
but its version doesn't say gcc, and then zlib's configure thinks it
can't create shared libs:
clang version 1.1 (branches/release_27)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
