Is there a way to know which version of gcc was used with a certain ruby
binary?
Thanks!

I’m curious: Why would someone want to know that?

I was looking for a way to include it in the output of the ruby
benchmark suite so that the logs were more descriptive of which version
of Ruby was being run 
Currently I can glean this information from rbconfig:
Ruby VM: ruby [ruby 1.8.6 (2008-07-17 patchlevel 279) [i386-mingw32];-g
-O2]
The -O2 is quite useful [don’t want to compare versions that are
compiled with different -O settings and call it fair]… The version of
GCC would also be useful for the same reason.

You only want the options passed to GCC? They’re in rbconfig.rb

“gcc --version” is valid.
Good idea.
re: which options I want. I have the info in rbconfig [parameters] but
I was wondering if ruby knew which version of the compiler was used for
itself somehow
