It has been established by the fact that /usr/bin/cpp has defined this since
the dawn of NetBSD.

Hell, it defines __unix__, __i386__, and even __GXX_ABI_VERSION.  Not
defining __GNUC__ in this mix is just damned boneheaded and deserves to be
whacked hard (and submitted back to the GCC maintainers, I might add) --
else all the other predefines should go away as well.
