This looks wrong. On a completely non-apple system, I get:

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2
[...]

$ gcc --print-libgcc-file-name
/usr/local/gcc-cvs/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/libgcc.a

$ gcc.objc --version
gcc.objc (GCC) 3.5.0 20040622 (experimental)
[...]

$ gcc.objc --print-libgcc-file-name
/usr/local/gcc-cvs/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.5.0/libgcc.a

so this check will mis-identify gcc 3.5 as an apple compiler.
