We might find that some GCC-impostor compilers have trouble with it,
but if so we can adjust the #ifdef here.
Getting nitpicky, I suggest calling it "HAVE_PRAGMA_GCC_SYSTEM_HEADER"
to align better with what you actually have to write. Also:
+ * Newer versions the perl headers trigger a lot of warnings with our compiler
"Newer versions of ..." please. Otherwise LGTM.

+1 to both points.
