Something similar is suggested in the CPP manual, here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.0/cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html

Quick paste:

  #define GCC_VERSION (__GNUC__ * 10000 \
                       + __GNUC_MINOR__ * 100 \
                       + __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__)
  ...
  /* Test for GCC > 3.2.0 */
  #if GCC_VERSION > 30200
