Description:
on current Debian testing (AMD64) BUILD/check-cpu fails with

  expr: syntax error
  BUILD/check-cpu: line 189: test: : integer expression expected

so breaking all BUILD/compile-... scripts

problem is caused by the compiler version string:

  gcc.real (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)

check-cpu is not clever enough to parse "gcc.real" instead of the usual "gcc"

How to repeat:
try BUILD/check-cpu or BUILD/compile-...  on latest debian testing

Suggested fix:
make check-cpu more clever, e.g. check for "(GCC)" instead of "gcc" in the version number
extraction pattern

the gcc / gcc.real in the version string is the file name of the binary which can change,
the "(GCC)" string seems to be constant though

Noted in 5.1.28 changelog.

The BUILD/check-cpu build script failed if gcc had a different name
(such as gcc.real on Debian).

Setting report to NDI pending push of fix to 5.0.x, 6.0.x.
