We were not passing security flags for citus community packages, which
we are for enterprise.

Also this adds the check for gcc version to make sure we are compliant
with security.

isn't ifeq a Makefile thing? I believe this spec file is (ba)sh.

I'd prefer if this used the same type of check as the one above for consistency, i.e. using sort -V (version sort).

Actually thinking about that a bit, we would enter that if it the version is equal to "4.8.2" but we don't want to, isn't that if check wrong in this case?

I guess you are right, maybe a better way would be to use head -n1 and check against currentgccver

if currentgccver and requiredgccver are the same, then what is the difference between head -n1 or tail -n1, or checking against currentgccver or requiredgccver. I would say that we can switch to gte structure here

if ! [ "$(printf '%s\n' "$requiredgccver" "$currentgccver" | sort -V | head -n1)" = "$requiredgccver" ]; then
      echo WARNING: Using slower security flags because of outdated compiler
fi

or something like the above maybe

yes that seems good, but maybe use != instead of ! [ ... = ... ]

And then use

if [ "$(printf '%s\n' "8.0.0" "$currentgccver" | sort -V | head -n1)" = "8.0.0" ]; then
      # add extra security flag
fi
