Probably just putting it into main.c would be better:

#if __GNUC__ < 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ < 6)
#error sorry, your GCC is too old. It builds incorrect kernels.
+#elif __GNUC__ > 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ > 7)
+#error sorry, your GCC is too new. 2.0.x kernels should be compiled with GCC 2.7.2.x
#endif

Cheers,
Jakub
