Well, fortunately for Gnulib the work has already been performed.

If the Gnulib maintainers are too busy to check it in, then turn it
over to an intern to run the sed command. It is mindless monkey work.
It does not require a senior dev.

After thinking about it, I would assume all of GCC 3.x is burned since
both 3.1 and 3.3 are broken. Change the version to 4.0:

    sed -e 's|__GNUC_PREREQ (3, 3)|__GNUC_PREREQ (4, 0)|g'
