The requirement was for a GCC-compatible compiler, not necessarily GCC itself. We expect any compiler used for building all of FreeBSD to be GCC-compatible and many things will break if not; there's no point in having an explicit test for this in rtld.

Yes, I agree that the check lived past its usefulness. It is there from the import of the ElfKit, i.e. it was not intended e.g. to port to icc or some other compiler.
