Agreed. In addition, gcc -v writes to stderr and catching the output requires redirecting stderr or using os.popen3 or -4. The latter fail since the select module (needed by subprocess) is still missing at that time. Going back to Thomas' comments and before getting into implementation details, the best way to address the issue might be the following. If the compiler is not gcc then config option --with-system-ffi must be specified (and a libffi library must exist). If option --with-system-ffi is not specified and if the compiler is not gcc, raise an error.

Going back to Thomas' comments and before getting into implementation 
details, the best way to address the issue might be the following.

If the compiler is not gcc then config option --with-system-ffi *must* 
be specified (and a libffi library must exist).

If option --with-system-ffi is not specified and if the compiler is not 
gcc, raise an error.
