That's a bit less hackish I suppose than futzing with the symlink
directly, but I still believe /etc/alternatives would be a good thing
here.  If you disagree, that's fine, but I'd ask that the gcc symlink move
to gcc-3.0 after woody's release all the same.  I've been using it since
the release of 3.0.2 and have had it break only on some #define abuse in
epic and a few things that were clearly broken such as var = var = value
and that like.

Please consider it, at any rate.
