Personally I wonder why we discuss this. Test grimoire is for testing.

GCC 4.1 has should been in test grimoire since GCC team had released it.

It is strange for me that for example openSUSE has gcc 4.1.3 [1] and we
have in test and stable-rc gcc 4.0.3 and in stable even gcc 3.4.5 [2].

What about some sorcery function and variable like IGNORE_GCC_VERSION?

With this setting sorcery could just ignore GCC from DETAILS and tried
the last gcc.

If last gcc was OK sorcery just write some message like "spell XXX
contains GCC=3.4 but it is possible to cast it with last gcc 4.1,
GCC=3.4 should be removed from DETAILS". Of course if last GCC fails
sorcery just tried older one.
