sanity, base: remove gcc3 check since qemu doesn't need it any more

Recent versions of qemu seem to be happy enough building with gcc 4.x, and indeed most modern distributions aren't shipping gcc3 any more, so there is no point checking for its presence as part of sanity.

Also remove the check_gcc3 function from base since nothing else uses it.
