[vbox-dev] wrong error message with gcc-7

Hello list,

configure:

-log_failure "gcc version $cc_maj.$cc_min found, expected gcc 4.x, gcc 5.x or gcc 6.x" 

+log_failure "gcc version $cc_maj.$cc_min found, expected gcc 4.x, gcc 5.x or gcc 7.x" 

BTW gcc -dumpversion in debian experimental returns "7" and no minor version,
so the cc_min is evaluated as "7" leading to an error such as:
"gcc version 7.7 found, expected gcc 4.x, gcc 5.x or gcc 7.x"

this seems really a gcc bug (because version is 7.1 right now), I'll investigate :)

thanks

G.
