I have had mine showing it needed to recompile gcc for a very long time
now.  There is also a bug for it too.  It has been there for a really
long time.  There are hacks to work around the bug but some don't like
the hack and neither did I.  I just omit gcc and do whatever else it says.

It's not a perfect tool but it works, mostly anyway.  ;-)
