The syntax is below. Perhaps you can find a better way of doing it? But it 
seems pretty okay to me. There is no problem building GPC on Linux or 
other unix systems:

# Adjust Makefiles to GCC version
for x in "$srcdir/p/Makefile.in" "$srcdir/p/Make-lang.in"; do
  if [ $egcs = y ]; then
    if grep '^[^#].*gcc-2\.8\.1-ONLY' "$x" > /dev/null; then
      echo "Adjusting $x for gcc>2.8.1" >&2
      sed '/^[^#].*gcc-2\.8\.1-ONLY/s/^/#/' "$x" > tmpfile && mv tmpfile "$x" || 
exit 1
    fi
  else
    if grep '^#.*gcc-2\.8\.1-ONLY' "$x" > /dev/null; then
      echo "Adjusting $x for gcc-2.8.1" >&2
      sed '/^#.*gcc-2\.8\.1-ONLY/s/^#//' "$x" > tmpfile && mv tmpfile "$x" || 
exit 1
    fi
  fi
done
