As Monkey is dependent of the Kernel, it make sense to depends of the
same requirements, per Kernel documentation:

COMPILING the kernel:

 - Make sure you have at least gcc 3.2 available.
   For more information, refer to Documentation/Changes.

So i think that we must require minimum a gcc 3.2. If newer versions
of the compiler comes with great features we can analyze and discuss
if required,

comments?
