Not at this stage, it seems almost too trivial to worry about, but
it's a very curious bug. It doesn't come from configure.ac so the
extra space is quite deliberate (if only for formatting reasons). For
the range of gcc versions (3.4.3 to 4.4.3) and systems that can build
gcc 4.5, it's hard to imagine Gentoo having problems.
