It is not a real sac because black gets the pawn back.

Latest movei finds c4 at depth 11(evaluation 0.07 when g6 is only +0.06 pawn
At depth 12 the evaluation increase to +0.19(hardware p850 64 Mbytes) and in the
next iteration 0.32

depth=11 +0.07 c5c4 b3c4 d6c7 c3e2 c7c4 d3c4 c8c4 c2b3 c4c8 d5d6 g8f8 h1g1

for comparison
public Movei find c4 slightly faster with higher score but the score goes down
at depth 12 and it changes it's mind at depth 12 to g6
