The full comments in the header file illustrate why the Mozilla teamed
keyed off of the internal compiler revision.  Basically, almost all
ports-based compilers were thunked, and there was a short period of time
in early 4.0 when a thunked system GCC was in the tree.

Note, we are using the FreeBSD compiler revision, and not
__FreeBSD_version in this header.
