(in vim you can `:set spell` (`:set nospell` to disable), there's
probably a nice way to auto set this on buffer entry for a commit
message)

Yes. Thanks for the patch.

Would this be more concise as:
+       depends on GCC_VERSION >= 50000 || (CC_IS_CLANG && (AS_IS_LLVM
|| (AS_IS_GNU && AS_VERSION >= 23502))
