net-libs/webkit-gtk uses lexicographical string version compare:

net-libs/webkit-gtk/webkit-gtk-2.24.4.ebuild:		if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-version) < 4.9 ]] ; then

The intention is likely to use 'ver_cmp'. See bug #705240 for hints to fix it.

it's removed in 2.26, pending slow arches to get rid of security vulnerable 2.24...

As gcc-10 is in the tree this now has a small chance to fire:

$ [[ 9 < 4.9 ]] && echo yes || echo no
no
$ [[ 10 < 4.9 ]] && echo yes || echo no
yes

Tell that to the arches that still haven't keyworded 2.26 nor 2.28 :)

The older versions with this problem are gone now
