I'm targeting an old SunOS 5.10 with a GCC 3.4.3, for reasons that can
only be described as self-loathing. :-)
The other users of GIT_GNUC_PREREQ are used for 2.8, and 3.1, so I
figure distinguishing between 4.5+ and <4.5 should be well supported.

Regardless, there's no reason to break older compilers over something
that's this trivial to fix.
