I don't thinks a symlink solution would be neccesary. i.e. I believe egcs is
going to support the gcc method of callind different compilers. i.e. -V and
- -b, so a shell script that acts as a wrapper for gcc and egcs and pgcc or
whatever else comes around can be made to call gcc with the right options, so
the right compiler is used. We can then use the same system we are using with
altgcc.
