Why?
We use already different version of library at the same time
(almost I use it, mostly because I find nice the obsolete libg++).
But yes, the default user compiler should be the system compiler.

summary:

user compiler: cc
system compiler: gcc
kernel compiler: kgcc

these should be simple link (or for cc an update-alternative) to
the gcc-X.YY.


Thus:
Could you implement kgcc (only as link),
and check that alternatives priority of cc are correct for all
version of gcc?
