Detect toolchain gcc version to --version from -v

[kay54068]

Brief Issue Summary

This is a very nice extension, but I am unable to run other GCC toolchains because I cannot detect the GCC version.

Can add detect toolchain gcc version to --version from -v ? for example: aarch64-linux-gcc -v is not work , change the full args --version can work,

Thanks for the report. To help us reproduce this issue, can you describe where you installed the aarch64-linux-gcc compiler from and provide the output of aarch64-linux-gcc -v and aarch64-linux-gcc --version on the command line (outside of VS Code)?

Hi @benmcmorran,

Thank you reply, I use the aarch64 bootlin toolchains. this a download link:

https://toolchains.bootlin.com/downloads/releases/toolchains/aarch64/tarballs/aarch64--glibc--bleeding-edge-2022.08-1.tar.bz2

is not support -v arg . >,<

[benmcmorran]

Thanks, we'll continue to investigate this issue.

check if it supports: -dumpfullversion -dumpversion (used in conjunction in this order) I found this to be most reliable of getting the version from GNU compilers since -v/--version may be of different formats.
