Install the other version (packaged as gcc-3.0, gcc-3.1, etc.), and set
CC=gcc-3.1 and CXX=g++-3.1.
It is possible to change the symlinks /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/g++, and so
on, to point to something else, but since those will be overwritten on
package updates you might be better creating symlinks in ~/bin and
adding that directory to the front of your $PATH.
