Actually, USE_GCC=4.9+ (i.e., GCC 4.9 or later).

And indeed, the use of version numbers should be minimized (so "yes"
is better than "4.9+").  

And the "or later" variant is preferred over requiring an exact version 
(so "4.9+" is better than "4.9").


USE_GCC=yes > USE_GCC=4.9+ > USE_GCC=4.9, where ">" is "preferred".
