Great! So it seems we should use 1-1-1 for any version of gcc older than 
4.4.5. I presume there is a macro for the third digit.

I'm still curious to know at what gcc version we would have to disable 
intrinsics completely. Maybe we should still do it for <4.0?

I'm pretty sure we can assume 1-1-1 for 32-bit < 4.4.5 too even if 
untested. I do not think I have ever seen a 32-bit build getting a 
higher best para than 64-bit for a specific version.
