Maybe if someone could feed me with what to use for the version. E.g. my 
gcc here defines __VERSION__ as "4.5.2" but when I'm looking at
u-boot/lib/asm-offsets.s I see

.ident  "GCC: (Gentoo 4.5.2 p1.0, pie-0.4.5) 4.5.2"

So I would like to display that which would be in line with the comment 
section of generated binaries.

But when I use "gcc -E -dM empty.c" to print all predefined macros, I 
don't see the text found in .ident. Not even something else which 
includes "Gentoo".

Regards,

Alexander
