You can do:
if [ "$CC" = gcc ]; then
  echo 'inline void f(unsigned int n){int 
i,j=-1;for(i=0;i<10&&j<0;i++)if((1UL<<i)==n)j=i;if(j<0)exit(0);}main(){f(64);exit(1);}'
 > test.c
  gcc -O2 -o test test.c
  if ./test; then echo "*** Please don't use this compiler to compile kernel"; fi
  rm -f test.c test
fi

(the $CC = gcc test is there e.g. so that the test is not done when
cross-compiling or when there is a separate kernel compiler and userland
compiler (e.g. on sparc64). This test will barf on gcc-2.96 up to -67 and
on 2.97 until end of November or so).
Similarly a testcase for the reload bug which caused in 2.95.2
miscompilation of some long long stuff in the kernel could be added as well
if you want to go that way.
