Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

agreed, do not check to see if the string is == 'gcc'.  Instead,
actually execute the CC compiler with a -v flag and test if 'gcc
version' in output.

something like this (but split into a few statements for readability):

if 'gcc version' not in os.popen(sysconfig.get_config_vars().get('CC',
'gcc') + ' -v').read():
  # gcc is required for ctypes
